This is a nice monument, despite being a bit on the ruined side. There is no court, but the gallery is in fairly good condition. The remains of the cairn/mound is about 30 long. The northern side of this has been robbed away and some of the orthostats have been removed from this side, too.
The gallery is divided into three chambers. The divisions are created in two different ways: one is with two jambs and the other with a septal slab. Each of the chambers is about 3m long. At the west end, a displaced roofslab lies in the first chamber.
A trackway runs across the west end of the monument, presumably through where the court once stood. The Donegal Inventory states that the court was probably at the east end, but this must be a typo. The gallery narrows towards the east end and, if the entrance was at the east, the first chamber would be blocked by the septal slab that blocks the width of the gallery.
