Situated in an open space in a plantation on the NW flank of Slieve Rushen. The gallery, 4m long, is slightly higher and wider at its open SW end. Two orthostats form the N side and three the S side. The backstone is set beyond the ends of the gallery sides. A massive slab, split in two, covers all but the SW end of the gallery. A tree rooted in peat on top of the roofstone may have caused the break. There are four outer wall stones to the N of the gallery and two lines of outer-walling, the inner of four stones and the outer of three, at the S. The structure is incorporated in a mound measuring 9m E-W and 7.5m N-S. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 114-5, No. 13)
