Located on level farmland about 600 metres southwest of a portal tomb in neighbouring Errarooey Beg, the monument sits 400 metres east of the Ray River and just 1.4 kilometres from the sea. The dramatic backdrop of Muckish Mountain rising to the south adds to the site’s atmospheric setting along this strip of coastal farmland between Ballyness Bay and Horn Head.

At its western end, visitors encounter the main structure: a gallery preceded by an almost circular full court, all contained within the substantial remains of a cairn. The cairn itself, though considerably overgrown and partially robbed of stones over the centuries, still measures an impressive 28 metres in length and reaches heights of 1.5 metres around the gallery area. The court, bounded by at least fifteen standing stones, spans 6 metres long and 5.5 metres wide, though its original entrance remains somewhat ambiguous; possibly a lateral entry existed midway along the southern side. The gallery beyond consists of at least two chambers, with the front chamber measuring approximately 2.5 metres long and just over 2 metres wide, separated from the rear sections by transversely set jamb stones.

Moving eastward along the monument’s axis, two additional structures emerge. About 6 metres from the main cairn stand three tall orthostats, remnants of what appears to be another chamber, positioned at the northwest edge of a grass covered mound. A further 2.5 metres east, a smaller mound contains a tall standing stone 1.8 metres high alongside a partially concealed prostrate slab. Archaeological investigations have yielded several flint flakes from the site, with one discovered in 1989 during excavation between two of the middle structure’s orthostats, and four others found in 1981 in a nearby ploughed field. While the three elements clearly align along an east to west axis, suggesting deliberate planning, the exact relationship between these structures and their original ceremonial or burial functions remains tantalisingly unclear.
