This is a single court tomb situated on the top of a hill with extensive views. Its condition it not amazing, but it is very recognisable.
Both arms of the 6m wide court exist and the gallery is well defined too. This is about 3.5m long and split into three sections, which are (from front to back) 1.5m, 1m and 1m long.
100m from the tomb is an exposed rocky outcrop, which could easily be the source of the stone used to build it. Just 30m from the monument is a small, modern cairn dedicated to the Irish poet Hewitt, who had a fondness to this spot. With views like this it is easy to see why.

This trip was just a return visit to get some better photos for my next book, Monu-Mental About Prehistoric Antrim. I sat and enjoyed the views, which surprisingly do not include Teivebulliagh, where the prehistoric axe factory is located. This hill is hidden by the top of the slope that the tomb is built on, but the orientation of the tomb's axis is roughly in its direction.
