The National Monuments Service's description
In natural woodland, on the summit of Doon Hill. Views are restricted by trees but Maeve's Cairn (SL014-076----) is clearly visible in the distance on top of Knocknarea to W. A roughly circular largely sod-covered mound (diam. at base: 23.5m E-W; c. 20m N-S; H 3.5m) of earth and stone. The flat top (diam. c. 6m) is uneven and disturbed in appearance and W-NW is broadly slumped. The mound has been quarried into at N and E; bedrock immediately to N has also been quarried out. Overgrowth obscures much of the NE edge of the mound.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
