Once I'd located the field that this tomb is in it didn't take me long to spot its location - in that big clump of trees! The remains of this monument are a bit scant. There are two stones from the court and the rear of the gallery is mainly missing. The front chamber of the gallery is in good condition though. One huge jamb (1.5m high) marks one side of the entrance while its opposite counterpart has been broken off. The orthostats that define the chamber are 50cms tall and 1.8m long. There is only one jamb marking the separation of the two chambers.
The site occupies the highest drumlin-type hillock in the immediate surroundings, but due to modern field boundaries it is only really possible to get any idea of the view to the north past Foxford. To the west it should be possible to see Croaghmoyle and Farbreiga Mountains and it's possible that the sun may set between these around the Equinox. The most impressive mountain visible from here would be Nephim, although there probably aren't any significant alignments to this.
