Situated on the SW end of a level ridge overlooking the River Slaney to the SW. Described by Price (1934, 35-6) as an oblong mound (dims. 6.1m x 4m; H 0.6m) with a granite boulder at either end. There was a large prostrate slab (L 1.9m) with a small upright beside the SW edge in the centre of the mound. The monument was destroyed c. 1979-80 and a group of large boulders and a slab (L 2.67m; Wth 2.04m) beside the field boundary 40m SE of the site may be the dismantled remnants.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
