Located in pasture on the S extremity of a low and narrow N-S ridge overlooking a low-lying basin. A tapered gallery, probably of two chambers originally, is aligned N-S (L 4.5m; Wth 1.65 at N; 1.3m at S). It has a semicircular court (Wth 3.5m E-W) of four orthostats at the N end, and one of these is a jamb stone leading into the gallery. No cairn or roofstones are visible. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 80)
