In rolling pasture. A pair of opposed orthostats at the SW and another pair some 4m to the NE represent a ruined gallery (L at least 6m; Wth 2.2m at SW, 1.55m at NE). A displaced roofstone lies between the two pairs of orthostats and there is a shattered roofstone at the NE end of the structure. An outer-wall stone stands 1m outside the more northerly of the two opposed orthostats at the SW. Immediately SW of the structure there is a field fence and beyond this there is an orthostat set transversely to the main axis of the gallery. This stone might be part of a facade and if so indicates an original gallery length of some 11m. Just 1m E of this orthostat there is a prostrate stone. There are no traces of mound around the structure but there are a number of loose slabs scattered at the site. An enclosure (SL025-093----) lies c. 50m to N. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 58, no. 92)
