What is recorded here
On thin-soiled, level land, 90m to the SE of a stream. A small chamber (L 1.5m) lacks sidestones. Two portal-stones (H of both 1.8m) flank a doorstone (H 1.5m) at the E. A backstone (H 1.3m) is 1.5m W of the doorstone. A displaced roofstone (L 2m; Wth 1.55m; T 0.2m-0.4m) leans against the N side of the structure. According to a local claim, a sidestone at the S and what might have been a subsidiary roofstone were removed in the 1960s. A low mound encircles the site but this is largely, if not entirely, of recent origin. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 119)
