This one took the help of a local farmer to locate, because it is very well camouflaged from the road as it is now partly incorporated into the wall of a small enclosure. Some of the chamber walls survive as do both portal stones. There is no doorstone and the capstone has long vanished, although there is a large slab lying on the ground near to the road which could be it.
The tomb is aligned east-west with the portal at the east end. Immediately to the south there is a tidal salt marsh, but this probably didn't exist when the tomb was built. To the west the view is out to the Atlantic over a lovely little beach in Maghery Bay. The islands to the north (Inishfree, Rutland and Arran) are all obscured by slightly higher ground.
