What is recorded here

Within a field system (CL009-059001) at the edge of a plateau of limestone pavement overlooking lower ground to the NW and higher ground all around except to the W. This poorly preserved and much-collapsed wedge tomb is defined by a chamber aligned N-S. Only one upright slab (L 2.8m; Wth 0.05-1m; H. 0.7m) survives on its E side. The capstone (L 2.3m E-W; Wth c. 2.1m, max. T 0.3m) has fallen to the N. Multiple small upright stones around it may represent an antechamber (Wth 1.1m). The remains of a grass-covered cairn (9.2m N-S; 8m E-W; H 0.8m) surround the tomb. A cashel (CL016-020023-) is located c. 40m to the NW.
