Near the head of a valley 1.5km to S of, and overlooking the inner reaches of, Killary Harbour. The tomb consists of a gallery (L c. 2.4m, Wth 1.25m at the broader, open E end) aligned NE-SW. The W end is closed by a large stone set outside the line of the side-walls. A single stone exposed to SE of the gallery may indicate outer walling. A large slab in the chamber area may be a displaced roofstone. The monument cannot be classified with certainty but appears to be related to the wedge-tomb class. (Gibbons and Higgins 1988d, 65)
