Marked 'County Cam' on the OS Revision of 1900. Part of this tomb is in the townland of Garvagh, Co. Tyrone. It is sited on a low ridge in poor pasture. A partly destroyed court on the NE ·gives entry to a gallery which consists of a short ante-chamber and a main chamber. A second chamber has apparently been destroyed. Three stones survive on the N side of the court and one on the S. The ante-chamber is c. 1m wide and c. 1.2m long. Two jambs separate it from the main chamber which is 3m long and 1.5m — 1.75m wide. A pair of jambs at the back of this chamber indicate the former existence of a second chamber. There are some roofing corbels in position on the N side of the gallery.
