On gently rolling pasture. A SW-facing gallery (L 7m; max. Wth 2m) stands in a diamond-shaped mound (11.5m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE; max. H 1m). The more northerly side of the gallery is intact and formed of seven orthostats. Adjoining the western of these seven stones is a facade-stone. Eight stones are in position on the opposite side of the gallery, three to the W of a gap and five to the E. A stone divides the gallery entrance into two parts. There are two partly buried slabs and a displaced stone in the rear half of the gallery. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 74, no. 117)
