The National Monuments Service's description
Sited 200m E of the a wedge tomb (TN039-016) and on the same S-facing slope. The scant remains consist of a septal-stone at the WSW, two sidestones of the more southerly side of the chamber and one of the opposite side. Another stone a little to the E of the last is somewhat loosely set and of uncertain origin. A small, low mound adjoins the S side of the chamber. The origin of a number of displaced stones at the site is uncertain. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 91-2, No.12)
