Situated on a hill-ridge and close to the wedge tomb in the same townland (50). The scant remains here are of a W-facing court tomb the gallery of which has been destroyed. Only the inner end of the court, consisting of an entrance flanked at S by three courtstones, now survives. The entrance consists of two well-matched jambs, 0.8m apart, at either side of a low sill. The northern jamb is split in two. The surviving structure stands at the western edge of a circular enclosure, 8.5m by 7.5m, formed by a low, grass-grown stony bank. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 109, No. 7)
