The National Monuments Service's description

This monument, removed in 1956, stood close to the foot of the southern slope of Barnarhu Hill. A plan of the tomb (Crawford 1910, 44, 'Baurnadomeeny West') shows the remains of a gallery, open at both ends, aligned W-E, measuring approximately 2.7m long and 1m wide. Each side of the gallery consisted of two stones set end to end. An outer-wall or doubling of the gallery side consisting of three stones was present on the S side and there was a single stone outside the most westerly sidestone on the N side. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 83-4, No.5)

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
