On top of heather covered hill in mountainous region with good panoramic views in all directions. Poorly preserved monument partially covered in heather and bog consisting of a low circular rise (diam. N-S 7m; H 0.6m) of heather covered bog with single large recumbent large slab (dims. L 1.9m x H 0.5m x T 0.4m) orientated on a NW-SE axis visible in centre of low mound. This low orthostat is described by DeValera & Ó Nualláin as a possible septal stone of a wedge tomb (De Valera, R. & Ó Nualláin, S, 1982, vol.4, 99). Described by Crawford (1910m 46) as an almost destroyed monument of which "only the dividing stone remains in position; it is 6 feet 9 inches [2m] long, and 1 foot 9 inches [0.48m] high and wide. Three other stones are lying loose, each about 3 feet [0.9m] by 2 feet [0.6m]".
