The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the highest point of the Killadore/Devlin Hills, with panoramic views, particularly along the coastline. This stone cairn (diam. 6m; max H 0.60m) is low, broadly slumped and partly sod-covered. On the S edge there is a possible kerb stone (L 1.1m; T 0.1cm; H 0.30cm), but no evidence of a kerb is visible elsewhere around the circuit. The cairn is topped with a smaller, recent stone pile (diam. 2m; H 1m) which serves as an OS trigonometrical point.
