In the area of Inis Mór called Fearann an Choirce, on a level limestone pavement overlooking seashore to N. The monument, in ruins, consists of a slightly wedge-shaped gallery, aligned E-W, represented by two opposed sidestones (L 3.5m, Wth 1.5m at W end narrowing to 1.2m at E). A single outer wall stone survives to S. A jamb-like stone stands within the gallery at W end and 0.6m further W are two façade stones incorporated in a field wall. A large slab lying N of the gallery, and partly covered by the wall, may be a displaced roofstone. Slight traces of a mound are visible to N and S of the tomb.
