On bare limestone some 120m from cliff edge on SW side of Inis Meáin. Known locally as Clochán Poll Dick, this roofless clochan is subcircular in plan (NW-SE 3.4m, NE-SW 3.2m) and built of large limestone blocks set on edge. The lower course of roof corbels survive. A doorway at SE leads to a possibly later annexe. The interior is choked with collapse. (Robinson 1980)
