The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

This unclassified tomb was destroyed between 1959 and 1964. Corcoran's plan (PPS 1960, fig. 9) indicates a gallery, orientated NW-SE, about 6m long and 2m wide. These measurements correspond with those in the OS Memoranda for County Louth (1939, A/96a/134). The gallery walls were represented by two stones at the W and three at the E.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
