It's hard to know what is the main monument here - that ruinous passage tomb or the large stone circle that surrounds it.
The tomb has a 10m or so diameter kerb around a very disturbed chamber. The only definite structure is a small part of a chamber of which two wall stones and the backstone remain. It appears that the passage would have faced northwards towards Slieve Glah. One recumbent stone has some possible rock-art on it.
The stone circle is large. Many of the stones are fallen or missing, but enough remain to show that it would have once been impressive at around 40m in diameter.
Later in the day I was told that there is often a bull in the field with these stones, so be careful if you choose to visit.
These monuments are best approached from the north.
