The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture with some scrub on undulating low-lying ground within Ballinamore golf club. A mound (dims 35m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW; H 1m-1.5m) has the remains of a court with entrance jambstones at either end. There was also evidence of chambers at the NW end and at the centre of the cairn. The NW end of the cairn was damaged in 1999. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 71-2)
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.
