In rolling hilly pastureland, some 210m to the S of a portal-tomb (GA125-119----). This tomb comprises the ruins of a long narrow gallery (L 10m) aligned NE-SW. A septal-stone at SW separates a short portico (L c. 1.4m) from the remainder of the gallery (L 7.2m) of which six sidestones are in position at N, five at S, and a backstone at E. Two roofstones rest in a sloping position above the gallery walls. A single upright stone at N forms a doubling of the wall and a line of five stones to the S of the gallery may be the remains of an outer wall. The gallery is incorporated in an irregularly shaped mound on which lie a number of displaced slabs. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 3 22; de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 21-2)
