The National Monuments Service's description
On S-facing slope, c. 45m S of rocky, gorse-grown ridge. Remains comprise gallery (L 3m; Wth c. 1.1m at W end, c. 0.9m at E) aligned ENE-WSW; represented by two sidestones to N and S and backstone at E end; buttress-stone to S of gallery. Three stones at W end cross gallery atright angles; these may represent facade or, perhaps, division between portico and chamber. Single stone to SW appears to be sole remains of outer walling. Remains of mound around structure. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 31, Co. 44)
