In a shallow basin, in rolling rush-grown pasture. Only part of the rear chamber (L 2.8m) of a SSE-facing court tomb gallery now remains. It is represented by the backstone, now split in two along its length, two sidestones adjoining the W end of the last, and 1.5m forward of these a segmenting jamb. A deep ditch extends E-W 1m forward of the jamb. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 58-9, no. 93)
