This is a scruffy monument that appears at first to be a pile of field clearance, but closer inspection reveals at least one stone that is set - making it look like a standing stone with some field clearance piled up around it. However, it was probably a court tomb or a wedge tomb.

Despite its ragged form it has two interesting features. Firstly it overlooks the crannog in Lough-na-Crannagh (County Antrim) and secondly there is a wonderful waterfall to the east at the head of the valley.
