What is recorded here
This tomb, extant in 1965 when the published plan was made (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972) has since been destroyed. It stood alongside a fence on the side of a ridge 200m W of a portal tomb (CV026-006----). A ruined gallery entered from the NNE stood here. A tall stone and low stone E of it, possibly a sill, seemed to mark the gallery entrance. A possible courtstone stood in front of the tall stone. About 1.2m S of the entrance, three stones formed the inner end of the W side of the gallery and two remained on the opposite side. A gable-shaped stone closed the gallery. A set stone stood 2m S of the gallery. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 127-8, No. 27)
