In undulating pasture. This possible rath has been levelled and is not visible at ground level.

On a small elevation in pasture broken by rock outcrop some 40m W of a small stream. The tomb stands at the S end of an oval mound (9m N-S; 7m E-W; H 0.5m). The portal-stone to the W (H 1.95m), alongside it a sillstone (H 0.45m), and a sidestone (H 1.4m) of the E side of this S-facing chamber are in situ. The eastern portal-stone lies fallen at the front of the chamber (min. L 2m). About 8m NE of the chamber there is a slightly curved line (L c. 4m) of five stones on edge. The stones, which are not set into the ground, form an inner face to a slight bank of earth. While of uncertain age and function this feature is hardly of any great antiquity.
