The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on the lower western slopes of Musherabeg Mountain, with the Keel river valley to the W. This consists of a roofstone (1.5m x 1.4m; T 0.15m) supported on four slabs, which forms a roughly rectangular chamber (1.05m x 0.65m; H 0.25m), opening to the N. It is situated at the centre of a low mound (diam. c. 4m; H 0.7m). The slabs are laid horizontally, two on the E, one on the W and one closing the S end. A small pad-stone supports the roofstone on the W side. Immediately N of the roofstone two low uprights (H 0.17m; 0.47m x 0.1m; H 0.07m above surface; 0.15m x 0.03m), 0.42m apart, protrude from the mound. These uprights may originally have been part of the cist or may be a separate feature. A stone row (CO048-185----) is located 185m to the E.
