The monument occupies a grass-grown mound measuring roughly 9.5 metres across, its steep sides rising 0.7 metres above the surrounding arable land. From here, you can take in sweeping views westward across the lough, though the rising ground to the east blocks any inland vistas.

What survives today is only a fragment of what was once a substantial Neolithic structure. Four courtstones mark the eastern end of the tomb, with two stones representing what would have been the inner end of the northern arm, and two more forming the southern arm’s inner terminus. The spacing between these arms, just 1.2 metres, would have created the characteristic U-shaped court that gave these tombs their name. About 2 metres west of the court, two opposing orthostats mark the last remnants of the gallery chamber itself, whilst a large displaced slab beyond them may have originally served as the backstone, suggesting the gallery stretched approximately 4 metres in length.

The varying heights of the surviving stones hint at the monument’s original form; the tallest courtstone on the northern side reaches 0.95 metres high, whilst the southern inner courtstone appears to have pitched outward over time and would stand about 0.45 metres if upright. This southern stone may have doubled as an entrance jamb, marking where ancient visitors would have entered the sacred space. Though much reduced from its original grandeur, with field stones now unceremoniously dumped atop the mound, this court tomb remains an evocative reminder of the sophisticated burial practices that were taking place in Donegal over 5,000 years ago.
