Situated on the E-facing spine of an E-W drumlin ridge. From a plan by H. G. Tempest made in 1936 (SMR file) this appears to be a wedge-tomb consisting of gallery aligned NE-SW, flanked by two buttresses and a single outer walling stone on the NW side. The gallery (L 3m; Wth 0.7m) has a short portico at SW. Two displaced roof stones lie across the gallery. The structure is incorporated in a mound (L 11m; Wth 5m). It is listed as a wedge tomb (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 131).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
