This tomb is similar in design to the nearby one at Altar (County Cork), but is not as complete.

A single roofstone rests on top of the thin walls.

This is worth stopping off at if you are in the area, but a word of caution: The OS map has this marked in the wrong location. It is actually located in the garden of the pub to the east of the road junction.
