The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as a ‘Pile of Stones’. It is located at a point where the unbuilt townland boundary between Erriff to the W and Aghavoghil to the E changes direction from S-N to a NNW direction proceeding N. It is situated on a local rise of a broad plateau. This is a conical cairn (diam. c. 1.5m; H 2m) with flush faces.
