In gently rolling farmland, some 4km to the NW of Portumna. Overgrown with thorn and bramble, this tomb has been used as a dump for field stones. The remains comprise a gallery (L 4m; Wth 1m), aligned approximately E-W, represented by three stones at N and two at S. Two outer-wall stones stand to the S of the gallery and a displaced slab lies at its W end. The structure is embedded in a mound (L 12m; Wth 8m
average). (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 18–19)
