In rocky pasture on a W-facing slope with a view across Lough Arrow to Kesh Corran and the Bricklieve Mountains. The E end of a gallery (min. L 3.5m; Wth 1.2m) is represented by an orthostat at the N end and two at the S. A prostrate stone at the S may be a fallen orthostat. Wood-Martin (1883-4, 462, no. 25; 1888, 186, no. 25) noted a further stone at the site. It stood just beyond the E end of the structure and, he claimed, had originally served as a roofstone before being removed to its new position by a tenant some 40 years before. The structure is at the SE end of an oval mound (13m E-W; 10m N-S). Two prostrate slabs lie at the N end of the mound. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 62, no. 101)
