On W side of a glacial ridge close to the inner reaches of Ardbear Bay. Consists of a small chamber (L 1.75m, Wth 1.2m), aligned NW-SE, incorporated in an oblong mound (10m by 7m). The chamber, which is open to NW and narrows towards the rear, is covered by a single large roofstone. The chamber and immediate area to NW have been dug out. Although the monument cannot be classified with certainty, interpretation as a wedge-tomb would not be inconsistent with the present evidence.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
