The National Monuments Service's description
On rolling pasture W of Boarmanshill. A wedge tomb (LI006-031----) known as ‘Tuamanirvore' or 'The Big Man's Grave' is located 200m to the NW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. It is not indicated on subsequent OS maps. The enclosure is likely to have been a ringfort (approx. diam. 25m). No surface trace of the monument is visible from Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 or on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
