This collapsed tomb stands just 30m from the banks of Lough Corrib about 4m above the water level. The remains consist of the two portal stones, which are about 1.2m tall and the wall slabs of the gallery, which is 3m long. There is no sign of a capstone. The structure is aligned east-west with the portal stones at the east. The northern wall slab has collapsed into the chamber.
The southern side of the tomb butts up to a field wall. There are a couple of stones to the northeast of the north portal stone, which could be from a court (?). The structure is set in a spread of cairn material which seems to run north to south, with the tomb set into the east side at the southern end, which is quite unusual.
There is a mass of vegitation all over the tomb, making it extremely difficult to photograph (and find!), it is quite easy to spot the different stones when you are there.
