The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Mound Possible' in both. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1913 edition it is shown on a linear stretch of the boundary between Glencarbury and Oughtagorey townlands in high, rough mountainous terrain. In all probability it was constructed as a boundary marker between these townlands and that it is post-1700 in date. Not visited.
