Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and sitauted towards the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. Described as two grass-covered heaps of loose stones (dims. 6m x 2m; 3m x 1m) (deValera and O'Nuallain 1972, 41). There is now only one (dims. 3m x 1.5m) surviving. It is not an antiquity.

Portal dolmen; likely dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its location on a drumlin and simple construction suggest a regional megalithic tradition, though its wider archaeological context remains poorly documented.
