Full Description

E 220:
This large oval cairn is orientated from north-west to south-east and measures 5.6 x 3.2 metres. It is located on a bedrock knoll in the same east facing valley as cultivation E 219. Feannagan from that area of cultivation seem to respect this feature, and undoubtedly some clearance of these fields has taken place adding to the overall size of the mound. However evidence of a possible kerb suggests that this feature has a prehistoric origin.
