The cist burial is located on the south-western downslope of a low hill (An Garrán), giving extensive views from west through south to west). It is orientated east-west. It comprises a main chamber to the east and an antechamber to the west. The main chamber is now open from the top, following the removal of the capstone, and six vertical orthostats form a roughly semi-circular end of the chamber to the east. The feature narrows to a rectangular antechamber, currently roofed with stones to the west but it was accessible from the eastern side. This chamber is also lined with vertical orthostats. The main chamber is divided into an upper compartment, into which direct access is now possible, and a basal compartment), which is located beneath the floor slabs of the upper compartment and which is visible only from the antechamber, looking east. Bone, both burnt and unburnt, was clearly visible within the main chamber, upper compartment.
