The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 20m to NW of an ecclesiastical enclosure (MA082-035004-) known as Disert Bibar.
This monument is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1916 edition as a small circular hachured feature (diam. 12-15m), named 'Corheen'. When inspected in 1988, it consisted of a low, roughly oval, flat-topped mound (17m E–W; 13m N–S), which appeared more likely to be a platform for a house or structure, rather than a burial mound (SMR file: OPW field notes 1988). It has been destroyed; a commercial motor garage overlies the location.
