11. Chambered Cairn, Ledbeg River. On the top of a knoll, just to the S. of the road bridge over the Ledbeg River at Lyne, and about 50' E. of the road, are the remains of a large circular cairn, much dilapidated, and in great part removed. Three of the large upright blocks which have formed the sides and end of the chamber remain in situ, and a small stone protrudes between two of the larger ones at the NW. The two largest stones measure 4' across the base, are 1' 5" thick, and 3' to 4' high. The diameter of the cairn has been about 36'. The end stone of the chamber is about 23' from the S. edge. The side stones, which are slightly divergent, are 6' apart.
