In flat pasture at the W foot of Jerpoint Hill ridge about 500m E of the Little Arrigle River. The portal tomb was destroyed between 1850 and 1868. A sketch of the partly ruined monument by Rev. J. Graves (1850, facing 130) shows it as comprising a displaced roofstone, (dims. 3.65m x 2.6m; T 0.9m), resting against two portal stones and a door-stone. A number of other large slabs lay immediately beside the monument. This megalithic tomb is not visible at ground level. (Graves 1850, 130; du Noyer 1868, 43; Borlase 1897, vol. 2, 403, Knocktopher no. 1; Ó Nualláin 1983, 97, no. 2).
