Situated close to the shore at Annagh Strand at the foot of a steep N facing slope. The remains stand immediately N of a ruined hut and are represented by a tall, gable-shaped stone (2m H) aligned E-W with two other stones (0.8m H) set immediately to the N of its W end. There is a further large stone exposed to the N and it may be a possible prostrate slab. A line of small stones immediately E of the monument may represent an attempt to convert it to a pen or other structure. The monument cannot be classified with certainty in its present condition but interpretation of the remains as the last vestiges of a megalithic tomb would not be inconsistent with the evidence. Although the gable-shaped stone suggests affinities with the portal tomb class (MacDonald 1990, 7), the tomb must remain unclassified pending further investigation.
