The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope, c. 165m to the ESE of the church (GA103-118001-) at the monastic complex at Drumacoo. This poorly preserved subcircular cairn (13.5m NW-SE; 12.5m N-S; H < 2m) is defined by grassed-over stones. Field-clearance rubble has been dumped on its S half. A curving drystone wall surrounds the monument from SW to W. A cross-base and fragments of its shaft (see GA103-118008-), and a possible leacht (GA103-118013-) are visible at NW.
