On the summit of a knoll midway between Naver Shaw and Bu Point, about 250 yards SW of Bu is a cairn measuring 83ft from N to S by 60ft from E to W, with a maximum height of 6ft. [R1]

Site was first seen by Hedges on Thurs 25th may 1978, site was pointed out by Mr Bertie Reid, Howe, Stromness, as a stony bump in a field on the W side of Bay of Ireland. The mound, was described in RC and OS as a cairn. On the basis of its shape, low profile and siting it was suspected to be a burial mound.
