On a gently sloping terrace on a S-facing slope in the foothills of the Boggeragh Mountains overlooking the valley of the Awboy River to the W and S. The remains consist of a gallery (L c. 4m; Wth 1.3m at W, 1.4m at centre and narrowing sharply at E to 0.5m), aligned NW-SE, represented by five sidestones to N and four to S; no backstone is visible. Two outer-wall stones stand to the N and S of the gallery. The S section of the gallery is covered by a roofstone (2.4m x 2m; T 0.2-0.25m) and a second displaced roofstone (2.05m x 0.9m; T 0.25m) lies at an angle at the W end of the gallery which is partly blocked with fill. Traces of a mound to the N, W and S appear to be the result of field clearance. Another wedge tomb (CO049-067----) is located 300m to the W.
