This is a low, almost unspottable, valley bottom cairn. At least it seems to be in the valley bottom, but it's actually in the bottom of the Maum Pass, which is high above the Dalligan Valley. The peat makes it hard to see the true extent of the remains - only the top 30cm or so rises above the peat.
With Farbreaga Mountain to the north and Crohaun Mountain to the south this is a very closed in location, but the views to the southeast open out as far as the coast. It's interesting to note that the huge cairn on Crohaun Mountain ( Crohaun (County Waterford)) can not be seen from here. It seems to have been located to be seen from the flat lands to the west of the mountains.
