Monday, 3rd June 2002

This collapsed wedge lies on a narrow ridge that has been used to form one edge of a rath or enclosure. Its gallery is 3m long with no roofstones and only some of the wall slabs remaining.

There is no evidence of any double walling or of a cairn. The only transverse stone is the septal slab.

Its position offers very nice views down the valley.
