On low rise in valley bottom about 100m S of Mealagh river. Wedge-shaped gallery (L 2.8m; Wth 1.2m at W end, 0.8m at E) open to SW, represented by two orthostats and fallen sidestone to N, backstone to E; covered by a single roofstone. Three outer-wall stones visible at E end gallery. Remains of mound survive to N and W of monument. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 135).
Myler (1998, 83) records that 'this area has recently been planted with trees and new forestry drains run to within a couple of yards of the tomb. The stones appear to be undamaged but it is in a heavily overgrown state'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
