  Description

  In a copse on low-lying, wettish land adjacent to an extensive tract of bog, some 600m E of the river Shannon. Many of the structural stones of this monument are displaced. A gallery (L c. 8.5m), aligned E-W, is divided by a septal-stone into a short portico to the W and a main chamber to the E. Two façade-stones stand forward of the N end of the septal-stone. Between these and the septal-stone is a small stone, part of the N side of the portico. Immediately W of the S end of the septal-stone is a transversely set stone. Three displaced slabs lie just E of the septal-stone, two of which are likely to be sidestones and to have stood opposite each other on either side of the gallery. Further E, three and possibly four roofstones, all dislodged to a greater or lesser extent, largely conceal what appear to be three further sidestones exposed at intervals along the S side of the gallery and two on the N side. A possible outer wall stone stands just S of the W end of the chamber. The structure stands in a mound of roughly oval outline.
