  Description

  In grassland, on the summit of a hill. Frequently called 'Lisin na b-paistidh' (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 118), this monument, in fair condition, consists of an almost square unenclosed area (N-S c. 13.7m, E-W c. 13.5m) with evidence of bulldozing at NE. Many limestone grave-markers, two of which are inscribed, are arranged in rows aligned NE-SW. A lone tree stands on the highest point of the hill on SSW side of the monument.
