The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape and built against a stone wall that forms the N edge of a haggard in an abandoned farmyard, with a SW-NE section of a laneway on the other side. A roofless circular chamber (int. diam. 2.2m) is set into the ground (D 1m) with a collapsed entrance (Wth 0.6m; H 0.6m) at S leading to a small chamber (dims. 0.8m x 0.6m) open on top that would have allowed access. There is no evidence of a covering mound.
