ND13SE 39 centred 178 307.
Centred ND 178 307. Five stony mounds, averaging 4 by 3m, are scattered over an area of 3 acres on Ceann na h-Agh. One, to the E of a modern sheep pen, is probably a field clearance heap and the others may be natural.
C Batey 1982.
Running E-W along the steep, heathery slope below the old sheep pen at ND 1778 3071 are about half a dozen mounds, some of which reveal a content of small stone. They are probably early-modern stone clearance heaps.
