What W. Forbes identified in 1986 as a possible ring-barrow cemetery is not marked on any Ordnance Survey historic map, leaves no visible trace on aerial imagery, and has never been excavated or formally confirmed. A ring-barrow, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a low circular earthen mound surrounded by a ditch, typically associated with Bronze Age funerary practice. That there may be several of them here, forming a small cemetery, makes the site all the more intriguing, but the evidence remains provisional.

The hill itself has a longer and better-documented prehistoric presence. Rising to 922 feet (281 metres), Duntryleague Hill carries a megalithic tomb and two cairns at its summit, along with an enclosure recorded roughly 140 metres to the east. Megalithic tombs in Ireland were built during the Neolithic period, generally as communal burial monuments, and the presence of one here suggests the hill held ceremonial or funerary significance across several prehistoric periods. The possible barrow cemetery on the southern slope would, if confirmed, add another layer to that picture, suggesting the area continued to attract ritual activity into the Bronze Age. Forbes's identification in 1986 appears to have gone largely unremarked since, and the site was only formally uploaded to the record in October 2021 by researcher Martin Fitzpatrick.

The site sits in pasture on the southern slope of the hill, roughly 540 metres from the summit. Because no surface features are currently visible, even on detailed aerial photography, a visit here requires a degree of patience and adjusted expectations. The reward, if there is one, lies not in what can be seen but in standing on ground that may quietly hold something significant beneath it. The summit monuments, which are confirmed and recorded, offer more tangible archaeology for those willing to make the full ascent.
