The National Monuments Service's description
Within the forest park in Portumna Demesne. A roughly subcircular cairn (14.4m N-S; 11.8m E-W; max. H 2m at W) is composed of moss-covered boulders. Stone-facing is evident at S and W, elsewhere the outer limits are much collapsed. A central area (diam. 7m) is girdled by a collapsed wall (Wth 2.4m) from SW to NW. A pathway (Wth 1m) outside this may have lead up to the interior. Some trees are growing on the cairn. Possibly a landscape feature.
