Situated on a rise on the broad plateau of Tullyskeherny. A low, grass-covered cairn (diam. 10.7m; H 0.3-0.6m) has a possible cist (dims 4.5m E-W; 2.3m N-S), defined by small upright stones at the centre. Two enclosures (LE011-036002; LE011-036003-) are attached to the NE and SW respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
