  Description

  Situated in a small clearing in a plantation on the western slope of Knocknabansha Hill. It consists of the remains of a gallery aligned SW-NE, now 2.1m long and some 0.7m wide, formed by two opposed sidestones and a septal-stone outside the SW end of the more southerly sidestone may represent a doubling of the gallery wall. A slight depression in the ground extending about 1.5m beyond the E end of the structure may indicate that the gallery was originally longer. There are a number of displaced stones at the site. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 89, No.8) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
