The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope, c. 25m to the SE of the enclosing wall of the ecclesiastical enclosure (GA103-139002-) at Kiltiernan. This circular grassed-over cairn (diam. 13.5m; H 1.3m), in fair condition, is composed of small well-rounded stones. The top of it is slightly dished, possibly indicating disturbance in the past.
