This unclassified tomb was destroyed between 1959 and 1964. Corcoran's plan (PPS 1960, fig. 9) indicates a gallery, orientated NW-SE, about 6m long and 2m wide. These measurements correspond with those in the OS Memoranda for County Louth (1939, A/96a/134). The gallery walls were represented by two stones at the W and three at the E.
