  Description

  In a broad valley near W end of an isolated terrace of cragland, 1.6km S of Knockroe Hill. The monument, extant in 1960, has since been destroyed and no visible surface trace survives. It consisted of a long narrow gallery (L 8.2m, Wth 1.9m at W, narrowing to 1m at E), aligned roughly E-W. Five displaced slabs lay along it; these may have been fragments of the roof.

The tomb was incorporated in a subrectangular mound (L 13, Wth < 8m).
