The National Monuments Service's description

Situated at the E edge of a broad plateau. It is one of a N-S series of small cairns (diam. c. 1-2m; H 0.5m) marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map on a townland boundary between Boleybrack to the W and Dergvone to the E. It is described on the map in italic lettering as a 'Mound' but this small cairn is not an antiquity.
