In a hollow in undulating landscape with cliffs (H c. 10m) overlooking the site c. 0.3-0.5m to the NE. The road is c. 30m to the W and a limestone erratic named ‘Cloch Bharr an Choinín’ on Robinson’s map (1977) is located c. 55m to the NNW.
A poorly preserved, rectangular cist with an E-W aligned chamber (int. dims. 3.85m E-W; 1.8m N-S) surrounded by a low cairn visible through the sod extending 2.8m to the N of the cist and 2.2m to the S. A gap (Wth 0.76m; L 0.45-0.55m) framed by two E-W aligned stones at W may be an entrance. The S side comprises three large stones (L 0.8-1.7m; H 0.6m), two of which lean inwards, with a fourth stone (L 0.65m) aligned NW-SE angled towards the potential entrance at W. The N side of the chamber comprises four stones of various lengths (0.12-1m) with two large gaps (L 0.7-1.2m) towards the W where stones may have been removed. The interior is slightly lower than the exterior and all the stones (int. H 0.1-0.3m) are generally flush with the ground outside or rise slightly over it. An area has been dug out at SE revealing an internal height of 0.6m for the most easterly stone on the S side. There are two stones (L 0.7m and 0.5m), aligned E-W towards the centre of the interior. A fulacht fia (CL004-085002-) is located c. 60m to the ESE.
