On the crest of the W-facing slope of a hill with a NNW-SSE ridge extending to the NNW and a low hill rising to the E. This is a rectangular chamber (int. dims 1.65m NNW-SSE; 1.05m ESE-WNW at N to 1.25m at S), each side formed by a single limestone slab (max. H 1.27m), but only the base of the S stone survives. The roof is formed by a single large stone. Archaeological testing (05E0021) c. 50m to the W failed to produce any related material (Delaney 2008a). (Dillon 1883-4, 16-19; Borlase 1897, vol. 1, 198-200; English 1969, 1,2; de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 142)
