Situated on a SW-facing slope c. 100m S of a small col between slight rises to the E and W. From a survey by H. G. Tempest made in 1936 (SMR file) it appears to be a cairn (L 28m; Wth 12m) aligned NNE-SSW incorporating a portal-tomb opening to the NNE at the N end. The tomb (L 2m; Wth 1.1m) is represented by pair of portal stones, two side stones, a back stone and a displaced roof stone. The remains of two subsidiary chambers open off the cairn on the E side. It may have been removed since 1984.
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.
