This is a very strange tomb indeed. It is a wedge tomb with an extension. It is aligned east/west with an uncovered portico at the west end and main chamber to the east which has two roof stones (one slipped and one in place).
To the south there are two additional chambers, presumably added later, that equal the main tomb in size. One of these chambers is full of cairn rubble. Some evidence of double walling exists down both sides. Separating the portico from the main chamber is a low sill stone, whereas the two subsidiary chambers are separated by a full height septal slab.
To the east, right on the edge of a steep drop there are some possible kerb stones set into a wall.
Strangely the portico (and therefore the entrance) faces into the hillside that rises steeply above the tomb. The location though is one that is definitely chosen for its views which look east towards Lough Erne.
