The monument sits on level pasture just 150 metres from the coast, with extensive outlooks to the north and west, though a nearby ridge blocks the view southward. This megalithic structure, known locally as An Chlochbhuaile, was first noted by antiquarians in the late 19th century, with one describing it as a “giant’s grave of colossal proportions.”

The tomb consists of a gallery measuring at least 7.5 metres in length, featuring a lintelled entrance that leads from what remains of an eastern court. Much of the gallery is now obscured by a later drystone wall built along its length, which rises well above the original orthostats and conceals all but their outer faces. The entrance is particularly impressive, framed by two well-matched, flat-topped jambs standing 0.6 metres apart and 0.5 metres high, supporting a substantial rectangular lintel that measures 2.2 metres long, 0.85 metres wide, and 0.75 metres thick. The gallery itself is widest at the entrance and gradually narrows towards the western end.

Archaeological surveys have revealed that two courtstones survive to the north of the gallery entrance, both now incorporated into the field wall; the inner stone leans outward and stands 1.2 metres high, whilst the outer reaches one metre. Along the gallery sides, three orthostats are visible on the northern side and five on the southern side, varying in height from 0.15 to 0.8 metres. Various displaced slabs around the site, including what may be a displaced corbel resting on the wall between the lintel and inner courtstone, hint at the monument’s original complexity. The tomb lies 1.7 kilometres southwest of another court tomb at Cool Beg, suggesting this area held particular significance for Ireland’s Neolithic communities.
