The National Monuments Service's description
This is one of five leabaí or grave-plots (see also GA110-023001-, GA110-023002-, GA110-023003- and GA110-023009-) associated with Teampall Bhreacáin (GA110-010001-) and Teampall an Phoill (GA110-010003-). Named 'Aharla' on the OS 6-inch maps, this subrectangular drystone enclosure (L 4.8m, Wth 4.55m) stands on a low bluff to S of Teampall Bhreacáin. Lying on a plinth within it are fragments of the high cross (GA110-023008-) known as the South Cross. Robinson (1980) marks this enclosure as Leaba Bhreacáin (see GA110-023001-). (Gosling 1993, 145, no. 838)
