The National Monuments Service's description
On a high plateau in an area of bog. Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Pile of Stones’. It is located on the boundary between Cloontyprughlish to the NW and Gortnagarn to the SE, and lies between the pile of stones (LE003-033----) c. 400m to the SW and the precipice at the edge of the plateau, c. 200m to the NE. There is a SW-NE ravine just to the NW. This is a modern cairn with a sub-rectangular base (dims 1.2m x 1.1m; H 1.5m) with a channel running horizontally through the cairn c. 1m over the ground.
