A chamber (int. dims. 2.53m N-S; 1.52m E-W) with 6 surviving stones, but lacking a backstone and roofstone (Ó Nualláin 1983, 100, No. 3; Ó Nualláin 1989, 28-9). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011 See linked document with details from Seán Ó Nualláin, Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume V. County Sligo. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1989)
Portal tomb; late Neolithic period. Its partially surviving chamber indicates typical megalithic construction techniques of the era, though its specific cultural or regional significance remains unclear due to limited contextual data.
