In rolling pasture within 100m of the River Moy. Three orthostats stand on an oval stony mound (11.7m E-W; 7.7m N-S; H 0.6m). Two of the orthostats, both low stones, are opposite each other close to the middle of the mound and seem to represent a gallery aligned approximately E-W. Immediately E of these the tops of some small stones are exposed at the surface but their status is unclear. Some 2.5m to the W of the opposed orthostats there is a tall example set transversely to the line of the presumed gallery, possibly a backstone. There are a number of displaced stones on the mound. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 61, no. 98)
