Situated in a low-lying position in a N-S valley between drumlins. This is a well-preserved but overgrown two-chambered portal tomb (dims 3.7m E-W; 1.85m N-S) with the portals (max. H 1.4m) and sillstone at W. The front chamber (dims 2.3m E-W; 1.85-2.1m N-S) has single sidestones, but a low septal-stone separates it from the inner chamber (dims 1.4m E-W; 2.85m N-S) which has single sidestones and two backstones. There is no visible cairn or roofstone. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 79)
