Situated on a level tract of pasture in rolling drumlin country. The monument is very ruined. It consists of seven orthostats and a number of large displaced stones. A line of three orthostats seem to represent the N side of a gallery, about 6m long, aligned W-E. Immediately to the N two orthostats may indicate a doubling of the gallery wall. An orthostat with a gable-shaped top stands at right angles to the E end of the presumed side of the gallery and might be a backstone. A stone parallel to this and 2m to the W may be a sill or segmenting stone. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 124-5, No. 24) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). Volume III. Counties Galway, Roscommon, Leitrim, Longford, Westmeath, Laoighis, Offaly, Kildare, Cavan. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1972).
