Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin in pasture. Only the N side of a single chamber survives (dims 5m NE-SW) with two façade-stones at W (max. H 1.15m). It was excavated by J. X. W. P. Corcoran (1964, 194-8), who found traces of a cairn, one sherd of pottery (possibly Beaker), and undiagnostic flint and chert. A court tomb (LE018-006----) lies c. 20m to the ENE, and a possible standing stone (LE018-008---) is c. 50m to E. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 69)
