Situated on a low hillock. This is a well- preserved gallery, aligned roughly SSW-NNE. There are two outer wall stones to N and S and a facade- stone stands forward of the N side of the gallery. The structure stands in a mound 9.5m by 7m by 1m high. The main chamber, 5.5m long, is closed by a tall, transverse slab at the W. In front of this a small stone, on which rests a displaced slab, may form the S side of a portico. Six stones form the N side of the main chamber, five remain at the S, and it is closed by a low backstone. The eastern pair of stones on both sides are stepped in from the line of the others and are markedly lower than them. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 129-30, No. 29; CUCAP BGL 76)
