This is in a sorry state. A few stone that may be from a kerb are present, poking through the mud and the stones that may define the chamber and very short passage are visible too.
What I assume is the backstone to the chamber has a thin quartz face. The passage would have been just over 1m or so in length and very narrow, although the road that is right in front of it may well have shortened it considerably. It would seem to face directly towards a low hillock or drumlin to the north west, which if true would have been a very nice marker for the summer solstice sunset.
When we were preparing to climb into the field the farmer pulled up for a chat. He said that not many people bother to visit these tombs (from their condition it is hardly surprising really), once again proving how little people get out to some of the more remote and quiet places in Ireland.
