On a S-facing slope of the SE spur of Museramore Mountain. This wedge tomb consists of a gallery (min. L 4m; Wth 1.3m at W, narrowing to 0.8m towards the centre) aligned WNW-ESE. The S side of the gallery is represented by four stones. Only two stones of the N side remain; the stones forming its E end and the backstone are missing. Two longitudinally set jamb stones stand inside the W end narrowing the gallery entrance width to 0.65m. The E section of the gallery is covered by a single roofstone (2.2m x 2.3m; T 0.4m at W, narrowing to 0.3m at E). The gallery is surrounded by seven outer-wall stones which curve around its E end. A prostrate slab (1.7m x 0.55m; T c. 0.2m) lies immediately SE of the outer-walling; this may be a displaced roofstone. The tomb is known locally as the 'mass-rock'. Another wedge tomb (CO049-066----) is located 300m to the E.
