The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a slight E-W ridge. Circular round-topped and overgrown cairn (diam. 6m; H 0.6-1m) of rounded limestone fragments. According to J. O'Donovan writing c. 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 126) it was part of the rounds of Toberscor well (RO016-047----), c. 180m to the S, and it had a stone with a hollow, perhaps a bullaun stone (RO016-046002-), said to have been formed by St Patrick's knee, which cannot now be identified.
