What is recorded here

No visible chamber remains. The lost court may have stretched twenty metres along the pasture edge, large enough for procession and ceremony before rot and ploughing erased it. The surviving mound and scattered stones mark the footprint of a forgotten public building, not a private grave.

In flat pasture. The tomb comprises the remains of a ruined gallery (L 5.5, Wth c 2m), aligned NW-SE. Its overall length would indicate that it had at least two chambers. Four sidestones are present on N and two on S side of the gallery, and a backstone stands at its NW end. Finally, a single corbel or displaced roofstone protrudes from the ground at S side of the gallery. The structure is incorporated at SE end of a long low mound (L 27.5m, Wth 12m at SE, narrowing to c. 3m at NW).

Court tomb, dating to the Neolithic period (c. 3500–2500 BCE). Its alignment and chambered structure reflect early communal burial practices and ritual significance in prehistoric Ireland.
