Situated towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. Seven upright stones (max. H 1.2m) and two prostrate stones rising from a mound (dims 9m N-S; 5m E-W; H 0.5m) were tentatively interpreted as the orthostats and jambstones of a SE-facing court tomb (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 76-7). The monument was removed in 1976 when some human bones were found, and a quarry now occupies the site. Volume III. Counties Galway, Roscommon, Leitrim, Longford, Westmeath, Laoighis, Offaly, Kildare, Cavan. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1972).
