The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a W-facing slope on the E shore of Killala Bay. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified by Timoney M.A. (1993, pers. comm.). Small mound of sand and stone (max. dim. 8m E-W) which has been largely removed at N and NE as a consequence of quarrying. It ranges in height between 0.5m (at E and SE) and 1.6m (at W).
