Just 30m or so to the southwest of the nice court tomb at Carrowreagh (see parent site) there is a low rounded rise. The top of this has been dug out exposing the tops of some stones that are clearly the orthostats of some sort of monument, but it is impossible to say exactly what form it took.

The main area defined by them is about 4m long and 1.5m wide.
