I visited two of the three hilltop cairns here. This one is the lowest of two that are in a different field to the wedge tomb in the same townland.
It is about 1.5m high and 10m in diameter. Like the field around it it has a covering of grass, but beware ... the ground here is treacherous as beneath the grass is limestone pavement. The main cairn is only 100m away, but it took me 5 minutes to reach it due to having to pick very carefully where each foot was placed.
There are a couple of large slabs poking out of this cairn. These may represent an inner chamber.
