In flat pasture. The tomb comprises the remains of a ruined gallery (L 5.5, Wth c 2m), aligned NW-SE. Its overall length would indicate that it had at least two chambers. Four sidestones are present on N and two on S side of the gallery, and a backstone stands at its NW end. Finally, a single corbel or displaced roofstone protrudes from the ground at S side of the gallery. The structure is incorporated at SE end of a long low mound (L 27.5m, Wth 12m at SE, narrowing to c. 3m at NW). (Ó Nualláin 1989, 118)
