Located on a gentle W-facing slope in an undulating landscape. This is a rectangular chamber (dims 2.5m ENE-WSW; 1.2m NNW-SSE; H 1.55m) consisting of two portal-stones at E, two sidestones and a backstone with a single roofstone (dims 2.2m x 2.1m; T 0.5m). There may have been traces of a cairn (H 1m), which could be field clearance, surrounding it at S. It was incorporated into the junction of two field banks, but it is now accessible directly from the ENE-WSW public road at S. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 81)
