The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of Muckelty Hill, just below the summit. An oval mainly grass-covered cairn (14.7m N-S; 16.5m E-W; max. H 2m) of small stones. A stone wall forming the townland boundary between Muckelty and Toberscardane crosses the cairn, off-centre to E, on a N-S axis. A field boundary runs parallel and to E of the townland boundary.
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).
