The National Monuments Service's description
This cairn was recorded as follows during archaeological investigations at Staad Abbey in 2000 (McCormick et al. 2000, 9): ‘A small rubble cairn, ca. 2 m wide by 1 m high, stands alone within the pasture 12 m south-west of the church. The original form and purpose of this feature is unknown, but it may have been a leacht or station, similar to the well-known examples associated with the early monastery on Inishmurray.’
