With a bit of care this wedge tomb would be a very nice example. The walls of the 5m long gallery are intact and a few roof slabs lie about, but the gallery is filled in with cairn material.

Just in front of the southwest facing entrance are two large blocks of concrete, the function of which I couldn't decide upon. Some of the outer walling is also present.

One of the roof slabs seems to have been incorporated in the bank of the rath in the same field.
