The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll on the lower souther slopes of Mauherslieve in a forestry plantation. Two set stones and a large prostrate slab mark the site. The set stones are both aligned approximately NNE-SSW and are so disposed as to suggest that they might represent two close-set lines of walling. The prostrate slab is 1.35m to the S of these and measures 2.6m by 1.5m x 0.5m thick. It could be a displaced roofstone or a fallen septal-stone. The remains can be explained as the last vestiges of a wedge tomb but so scant are they that the true nature of the site must remain uncertain.
