The walk to this site is a little tricky. To get here you must walk along a very bumpy and boggy firebreak: at one point I sunk into the ground to above my knees!! Eventually, after much cursing and wetness, you reach an open area in the forest to the left of the firebreak and the tomb is 100m or so into this glade.
It's hard to tell what is still there until you actually reach it - all you can see as you approach is a mound with lots of trees on it. The mound is around 2m tall, 35m long and a little over 10m wide.
It appears that this tomb has never been opened and that the gallery lies undisturbed below the cairn. The mound is aligned east-west with the fairly overgrown court being visible at the east end. This is wineglass-shaped, withe straight tapering sides.
I think the court faces Big Dog, the ridge to the east with The Giant's Stone (County Fermanagh) on the top, but the forest unfortuately cuts out this view.
