On SW-facing slope, in an unplanted green area surrounded by forestry, in the angle of two forest roads, in the SE foothills of the Slievefelim Mountains. Depicted on the revised 1924 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped enclosure directly abutting a small field to NE. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a raised roughly D-shaped area (26.2m E-W; 21.2m N-S) enclosed by a low bank mainly reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.6m; H 0.3m) from ENE-S-W-NW that has been incorporated into a linear field boundary across the NE sector. Some small rubble boulders are consistently on top of the scarped edge, which may represent field clearance or stone which has been exposed from the fabric of the bank due to livestock erosion. The interior has a SW-facing slope. A single upright slab (H 0.37m; Wth 0.22; T 0.1m) which is triangular-shaped in elevation, protrudes from the top of the scarp at W. Some irregular-shaped slabs (L 0.3m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.8m) have been deposited in the W sector to form a low cairn-like feature. It is possible that this ringfort may have been reused as a children’s burial ground. Visible as an oval-shaped monument on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/05/2017. See attached ASI sketch plan and photos Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 3 July 2020 - LI008-010: Cairn - burial cairn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI008-010----. Situated on a ridge of poorly drained land in upland area on the SE facing slope of Cullaun Mountain with commanding views of the surrounding countryside from NE-E-S-W. The summit of Cullaun Mountain with ring-barrow (LI008-003----) rises high above the monument 800m to NW. Low orthostats (H 0.3m) protruding above the surface of the heather-covered ground represents the the remains of a cist (L 3m x Wth 1m) roughly aligned N-S which was covered by a low stone cairn (approx. ext. diam. 8.8m) the revetment of which is visible as low upright stones forming a roughly circular shaped outline which is clearly visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-13. Two prostrate stone slabs lying on the surface of the ground to the N of the upright orthostats appear to be the remains of displaced capstones. Could be the robbed-out remains of burial cairn with central cist, the presence of loose stones lying around the perimeter of the monument may be the remains of the original cairn material.
