The location offers extensive views eastward over the lough, whilst an arc of hills stretching from Croaghan Hill to Knockalla Mountain creates a dramatic western skyline. The surrounding landscape of rough pasture, broken by patches of outcropping rock, has likely changed little since this megalithic structure was built thousands of years ago.

The tomb consists of a roofless but remarkably well-preserved gallery, measuring 7 metres in length and facing northeast. The gallery is divided into two distinct chambers by tall stone jambs positioned on either side of a septal stone. The front chamber, accessed through an entrance marked by two transversely set jambs, measures 3.6 metres long and narrows from 1.8 metres wide at the front towards the segmentation. The second chamber, which some archaeologists have noted resembles a portal tomb, is 3.1 metres long and narrows from 2.1 metres wide near the segmentation to 1.6 metres at the backstone. Single massive slabs form each side of this inner chamber, with the southern sidestone decreasing in height from front to back.

Numerous sizeable stones lie scattered around the site, many now partially covered by vegetation, suggesting the tomb once had additional architectural features. A line of stones running forward from either side of the gallery entrance may represent displaced courtstones, though their current arrangement provides no clear indication of the original court design. Historical records from the OS Memoirs of 1834 show the gallery was already in its present state by that time, except that the northern entrance jamb and backstone, which now lean outward, were then standing upright. Despite centuries of weathering and some structural changes, the tomb remains an impressive testament to the engineering skills of Ireland’s Neolithic builders.
