In pasture on the slopes of the Ox Mountains and commanding an extensive outlook to the S and SW. An orthostat to the W and two alongside 2.5m to the E represent the S side (L 7m) of a WSW-facing gallery. A displaced stone lies against each of the latter two orthostats. Two orthostats of the N side of the gallery are in place, one opposite the gap in the southern side and the second 0.7m to the E. There is a displaced stone alongside the western of these two orthostats. It is clear that the gallery both narrowed and decreased in height from W to E. There are slight traces of a mound at the W end of the structure. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 73, no. 115)
