The monument, which stood on elevated rocky pasture just over 2km E of Lough Arrow, had collapsed by 1888 (Wood-Martin 1883-4, 461, no. 21; 1888, 182-3, no. 21). Two mid-19th century sketches of the tomb reproduced by Borlase (1897, 186-7) show a portal tomb with tall portal-stones and a low backstone supporting a high-pitched roofstone. The side of the structure clearly visible in the sketches is formed by a single stone. A number of large stones, some of them partly obscured by a field fence, are still at the site. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 68-9, no. 110)
