On a low, rocky ridge about 200m N of Leebeen Lough. A chamber (L c. 2m) faces W. Portal-stones, 0.45m apart, mark the entrance. Single stones, each set outside and leaning against the adjacent portal-stone, form the sides. A backstone set between the ends of the sidestones closes the chamber. Some small stones block a gap between the end of the backstone and the N sidestone. A roofstone (L 2.7m; Wth 2.5m; max. T 1.25m) rests on the five orthostats (all c. H 1.5m).
