Sited 6m NW of the court tomb (GA022-103001-) in the same townland. The cist, open to the W, is formed of three orthostats. It measures 1.60m long (E-W) and narrows slightly from 0.80m at its open W end to 0.65m at the closed E end. One orthostat (L 1.45m, at least 0.10m T, H 0.20m) forms the N side of the cist and another opposite the last (L 1.35m, T 0.25m, H 0.30m) forms the S side. At the inner W end of this stone is a small, low stone (L 0.25m, T 0.10m, H 0.05m). The third orthostat (L at least 0.60m, T at least 0.05m, H 0.45m at its inner face) forms the E end of the chamber.
