The National Monuments Service's description
Fuaghnan (1943) describes a megalithic tomb at Tullyskeherny which does not quite correspond to the known monuments in this townland, but which is undoubtedly one of them. It was c. 20m from a road and he describes it as an E-W chamber “7 feet by 5 (dims c. 2.15m; x 1.5m)” with two stones at the W, four stones at the E and one stone at N and S “4 feet long, 2 feet high and 10 inches thick (dims c. 1.2m; x c. 0.25m; H 0.6m)”.
