This is classified as a court tomb although it is really impossible to say. It could be a stone circle, but it probably is a court. From the slight angles of the two remaining stones the chambers would be under where the nearby road is and the court would have opened to the south-east.
All that remains now is two of the court slabs and a small stone lying recumbent where the entrance to the chambers would have been.
The two remaining uprights are just .8m tall and so this may have been of a similar size to nearby Ballymacdermot (County Armagh).
