Located in a coniferous forest on top of a broad hill. A single-chambered gallery (dims 4m NE-SW; 1.5m NW-SE) and a NE-facing semicircular court (dims 9.6m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW) are at the NE end of a rectangular cairn (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c.15m NE-SW). An enclosure (LE015-108002-) is adjacent to NW. It is now largely removed through tree-planting and cutting (Bing 2013). (Richardson and Lowry-Corry 1940, 178-80; de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 67-8)
