The National Monuments Service's description
On a E-facing slope of rising ground in upland undulating region with good views in all directions. No surface remains visible of any monument in area marked on latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Indicated on the OS 6-inch map as a 'Killeen' with a dashed line delineating a roughly oval area (c. 25m N-S; c. 40m NE-SW). Possibly referred to in the Civil Survey where there is a reference to “ye heape of stones called Laghtnegarough” (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 84). There are several large flagstones scattered in the field to the N of the hill which may be the remains of the aforementioned heap of stones.
