On rocky pasture about 4km W of the N end of Lough Arrow. Scant structural remains of a tomb survive in a low, poorly defined oval mound (19m NE-SW; max. 12m NW-SE). Two adjoining sidestones (combined length 4m) and a jamb remain of the more southerly side of a gallery aligned NE-SW. The jamb is at the NE end of the line described by the two sidestones and just 1m beyond the opposite end there is a prostrate slab, possibly a fallen backstone. Between this and the line of stones there is an upright stone which does not appear to be in situ. There are also some prostrate stones at the site. Some 2m E of the jamb a depression in the mound may mark the position of a court. 'Toberstarley' holy well (SL034-100001-) lies c. 50m to S. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 62, no. 100)
