This is 30m E of the court tomb in the same townland (51). It consists of the remains of a SW-facing gallery flanked at either side by outer- walling. A single facade-stone survives to the S of the gallery entrance. The gallery is some 6m long and 1.5m to 1.7m wide narrowing to 1.25m at the backstone. A stone partly closes the front of the gallery. Seven sidestones are visible at the S and four at the N. Two stones, one to the N and the other to the S, continue the line of the gallery sides beyond the backstone. Five outer wall stones survive at the N and five more at the S. There appears to be some cairn material between the gallery sides and the outer wall. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 109-10, No. 8)
