I walked here across the hill from the court tomb (see Browndod (County Antrim)). The stone is 2m tall and built into a field wall. It has a step on one side of it that is similar to many portal stones, but I don't think this is the remains of a portal tomb.

The views to the north are wonderful, but those to the south are blocked by tall trees. The main landscape feature from the site is Big Collin, a dome-like hill.
