The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW slope of Corn Hill; c. 120m to the NE, at the highest point, is a possible passage tomb (LF005-017----). Panoramic views are afforded except from NE–E–ESE where limited by higher ground. This low, circular, dome-shaped cairn (diam. at base 16.2m; max. H 1.2m) is divided into two unequal portions by an ENE–WSW field boundary (which also marks the boundary between the two townlands). The smaller portion, to the NNW (in Dooroc townland), has been destroyed. The cairn material is interspersed with earth and peat and a quarry-hole has been dug into the centre of the monument.
