On a flat tract of ground in rolling pasture. Two groups of orthostats stand 3.6m apart, four to the SW and three to the NE. Each group seems to represent a chamber. The four to the SW include two opposed orthostats (H 0.8m), 1.75m apart, standing at either side of a stone set transversely between them. This seems to be a sillstone (H 0.5m). Some 1.5m W of the more southerly of the two opposed stones there is another orthostat, apparently a sidestone. The chamber represented by the second group of orthostats seems to have been of polygonal outline. It measures 2.3m N-S and is represented by three orthostats, one at N, E and S. There are some prostrate and partly concealed stones at the site. Faint traces of mound adjoin the southern side of each chamber. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 57, no. 90)
