I was surprised at how substantial the remains of this tomb are. It is by now means complete, but enough of it remains to judge its size and form. The east-west aligned gallery was about 5m long. At the east end there is a separate sub-chamber, which still retains its roofstone. Of the rest of the gallery is represented by just the stones on its north side.
The monument stands on top of what is probably the remains of its cairn, raising it about 1.5m above the surrounding peat. This and the nearby court tomb are built on a bit of level ground at the foot of a shallow north-facing slope. This blocks the views in this direction, so that the only way you can really look is north towards Topped Mountain (County Fermanagh).
