Located in pasture on the summit of a NE-SW ridge. This is a passage opening to the E. Only the W end of the passage survives (L 3.5m; Wth 1.6m) with five orthostats on each side supporting three roofstones, and a backstone. Four kerbstones at W may indicate a cairn (diam. c. 10m). Pottery that is probably of prehistoric date was found in a disturbed surface at its E end during 2009 (NMI file). (Atkins 1896, 132; Ó Nualláin and Walsh 1986, 25-6, 28; Harbison 1992b, 326)
