A coastal Co. Antrim passage mound which has survived the ravages of time reasonably well. It is nicely situated in a hollow atop a knoll with excellent views of the surrounding countryside and sea, yet remains invisible from lower ground. Part of the kerb circle (which is approximately 35 feet in diameter) has been absorbed by a field wall. Access is a short trek through rather thick gorse and over boggy ground, after a bumpy ride along a farm lane.
