Situated in pasture on the floor of a NW-SE valley. It is constructed of conglomerate stones and faces NE (uplsope). The triangular roofstone (dims. 4.15m x 2.5m; T 0.45-1.1m) has its broad but thinner end resting on two portal-stones (at NW: dims. 1.17m x 0.4m; H 1.5m; at SE: dims. 0.8m x 0.56m; H 1.5m), but no other structural stones are present. The portal-stones are unusually aligned across the main of the capstone. The site of a second possible dolmen (WA003-050----) is c. 50m to E. (Ó Nualláin 1983, 102)
