On a slight rise in a level landscape c. 120m from the N bank of the W-E Hind River. Known locally as Crocan Cill Barra and thought to have been a burial ground of Cloonsellan Abbey (RO042-011----) c. 750m to the SW. It is thought to have been a mound which was largely removed c. 1830. No feature is visible at ground level in rough pasture. (Ryan 1997, 224)
