The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a broad hill. This is a gallery (L 2.5m) orientated NNW-SSE with two E side stones and a large S back stone. A low stone at right angles to E side of the gallery may be buttress. It remains unclassified but it is probably a wedge-tomb.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
