The National Monuments Service's description
Local information indicated the site of a supposed collapsed megalithic tomb (Brindley and Kilfeather 1993, 2, No. 10). There is no visible trace of this feature and, whatever its nature, it cannot on present evidence be accepted as the site of a megalithic tomb.
