  In pasture, c. 200m E of Ballylaur. A flat-topped roughly rectangular grass-covered mound (15m N-S; 8m E-W; H 0.75m) with broadly sloping sides known locally as a 'killeen'.

Also according to local information, the mound was partially levelled in the 1980s and prior to that several stone grave-markers had been visible. During road building in the 1940s, a hole was dug to extract gravel immediately to S of the mound and several adult human bones were exposed which were later reburied; a grass-covered depression is now visible in this area.
