This feature was first shown on the 1847-9 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The site, alongside a gravelled roadway in a state forest, when visited in 1985 was overhung by branches and covered by briars and other undergrowth. Two set stones are visible here. These are 0.55m apart, parallel to each other and aligned almost N-S. The western one is 0.7m long, 0.2m thick and 0.8m in exposed height. The eastern one is 0.4m long, 0.2m thick and 0.4m high. At the southern end of this is a low stone with rounded top measuring c. 0.5m in maximum dimension and 0.3m in exposed height. This may also be a deliberate feature. There are a number of prostrate slabs, some quite sizeable, scattered in the surrounding undergrowth. There are two accounts of this site in OS documents. Thomas Fagan (1845-8) wrote a somewhat confused description of it. He saw it in 1845 and claimed that it was a cillín (a children's burial ground) originally enclosed by a thick stone wall within which was a gallery built of 'great slabs of stones' with other 'vaulted graves'. At the time of his visit much of the site had been cleared and the rest of it, including, apparently, the gallery feature, was covered by reclamation debris. According to Fagan, the gallery measured c. 12 feet (c. 3.65m) long and 4 feet (c. 1.2m) wide and at around mid-length there was a single roof stone 5 feet (c. 1.5m) long, 4 feet (c. 1.2m) broad and 1 foot (c. 0.3m) thick. A slightly later description of the site in an OS Revision Name Book (1847-9) reads as follows: 'This druidical monument is about 12 feet [c. 3.65m] long and 5 feet [c. 1.5m] broad. In the north end are two upright stones about 3 feet [c. 0.9m] in height and on the sides smaller stones set edgeways in the ground. The interior has been filled with rubbish gathered off the land by the occupant.' The report concludes with the observation that Fagan was in error in describing it as a cillín. The nature of the site is not apparent from the scant remains now present. The early accounts, quoted above, suggest that it may have been a megalithic tomb.

Internal diam. c. 22m. This cashel, now in Ards Forest Park, has been planted over. The wall which can be measured on the S is 2.4m wide. The outer face is intermittently trace-able all around and survives over much of the way to 1m in height. Most of the inner face is collapsed and covered over from forestry operations. In the interior a ruined wall surviving to a maximum of c. 0.5m in height and c. 1m in width, not including collapse, runs from the collapsed inner edge of the cashel wall on the NE for c. 14m to W, then curves round to run for c. 10m to S. It is not possible to say if this is contemporary with the cashel wall. Between this wall and partly set into the collapsed inner edge of the cashel wall on the N is a small, partly collapsed, drystone, hut-like structure (DG026-013002-), circular in plan measuring c. 1.5m in diameter. The enclosing wall which survives to a maximum of 1.15m in height ranges from c. 0.7m to 1.7m in width. There is a .5m gap on the S. The purpose of the structure is unclear. The cashel interior slopes downwards from S to N with a marked drop of c. 0.4m at mid way and it also slopes down from W to E. It is on a slight W facing slope with originally probably good views to N, E and S. Planting has obscured the nature of the land but some rock outcrop does occur.
