The National Monuments Service's description
This monument came to light during the course of fieldwork on the AranLIFE Farming Project (2014-2018) (see www.aranlife.ie). It is located towards the S end of a subrectangular field close to the S end of the island. It consists of a low roughly circular poorly preserved mound (6.5m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.2-0.3m) with ill-defined edges. Centrally located is a subrectangular area (3.3m by 2.5m) delimited by traces of possible stone kerbing. Locally it is believed to be a possible grave. It may be the remains of a hut site or possibly a denuded stone-lined cist.
