Located towards the W end of the sub-oval Drumgole Lough (max. dims c. 720m ENE-WSW; c. 300m NNW-SSE) which is beginning to suffer depletion and infill at the W end. It is depicted as a small island on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular cairn (diam. 15m; H c. 1.5m) with some trees. There are no structural features evident but large quantities of animal bones are present.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
