On rough boggy ground close to edge Moinroe Bog, in area outcropping rock. Stones of monument protrude less than 0.25m above ground, appearing as thin slabs. Four lines of stones, running NE-SW, seem to represent sides and outer-walling of gallery (L c. 5m). Traces of mound around E end monument. Some doubt about exact nature of monument, but interpretation as wedge-tomb would not be inconsistent with present evidence. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 32-3, Co. 46)
