Two sidestones make up the N and S sides of the tomb, though a gap between the stones on the S side suggests there was a third stone, now missing. A single septal-stone closes the WNW end of the chamber and a backstone is visible at the ESE end. Projecting sidestones, as well as fallen stones outside the WNW end, suggest a short portico.

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.
