Situated on the grounds of Larch Hill on gently sloping pasture near the valley bottom W of Kilmashogue Mountain. A megalithic tomb in a collapsed condition with a ruined chamber facing uphill to the E. One of the portal stones, almost square in section, still stands (H 2.5m). The collapsed roofstone covers the chamber (L 3.8m; Wth 2.65m; D 0.7m). There are a number of large collapsed stones lying close to these structural stones. Borlase (1897, 2, 394-5) describes a circle of stones which is not apparent today (Turner 1983, 6-7; Anon.1914, 225-6; Price 1940, 124).
