On crest Knocknaveagh hill above Bantry, 350m SW of summit. Ruined chamber (L 1.2m) aligned E-W, covered by single roof stone; N side formed of one slab, decreasing in height W->E; inset back stone at E end. Number of slabs lie in chamber area. No indications of mound. Some doubt about exact nature monument; interpretation as a wedge-tomb not inconsistent with present evidence. (Roberts 1988, Ch. 5, no. 9; Ó Nualláin 1989, 135).
