The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of a S-facing slope. Knox (1914b, 352) describes four features in a N-S row with diameters corresponding to those of barrows (RO039-014001-; RO039-014002-) and rath (RO039-015----). While the location of the missing barrow (diam. c. 15m) is uncertain it may have been just S of (RO039-014002-) where there is a now a small quarry (diam. c. 5m; D 0.35-0.9m).
