This site, which is known locally as An Caibeal and is said to have been used for the burial of illegitimate children, is located in uncultivated ground at the E edge of a hayfield some 240m SSW of Ardmenish*. It is marked by two large clearance-cairns, about 18m apart, but there is no trace of an enclosure.
