This is a totally ruinous monument and not worth stopping off to see. I imagine (and this takes a very good imagination) that it would have been a very fine tomb long ago, but not anymore.
The capstone leans at 60 degrees against a pile of assorted rocks that may have once been part of the tomb. It measures some 4m x 2m.

I decided that I needed to see these remains again. After reading the description in the Waterford Archaeological Inventory I realised that, in my initil disappointment upon seeing the site for the first time, that I hadn't really looked at what was left.
The remains are, indeed, limited, but there is a bit more left than I'd realised. Next to the fallen capstone there are three stones still standing. These are the two portal stones and a full-height doorstone. The chamber walls are either missing or collapsed. The remaining orthostats are a little over 1m tall.
