First documented in 1993, this megalithic monument sat at the base of a drumlin, flanked by hills that limited its views save for glimpses along the Drummenny River valley to the northeast and southwest. The tomb consisted of a gallery chamber, 5.5 metres long and aligned north-northeast to south-southwest, with remnants of a court at its northern end. The entire structure was originally covered by a cairn of stones, traces of which remained visible as a scattering of small stones, including some quartz, across an area roughly 20 by 10 metres.

When surveyed in 1994, the monument was in a ruinous state, with only partial remains visible above ground. The gallery entrance featured two transversely set jamb stones, behind which three sidestones lined the eastern wall. The western side was largely buried, with just the top of one orthostat visible. The court area, though poorly preserved, showed evidence of a flattened facade across the gallery front, with a particularly striking gable-shaped stone, 1.55 metres tall when upright, marking the eastern side. The visible architecture, particularly the transverse jambs and the waisting of the gallery walls, clearly identified this as a court tomb, a type of communal burial monument typical of the Irish Neolithic period.

Excavation before the site’s unfortunate destruction by road construction revealed far more than the surface survey suggested. The court proved to be subcircular in plan, and whilst the inner gallery stones had been robbed out in antiquity, their sockets remained. The excavators recovered a wealth of artefacts that tell the story of the tomb’s use: three pottery vessels from the court area, along with flint tools and cremated bone; from the gallery came more impressive finds including a polished stone axe, eighteen flint hollow scrapers, flint knives, a chert bead, and fragments of at least four pots. Evidence of later ironworking, possibly from the Early Christian period, shows the site retained significance long after its original Neolithic builders. Today, sadly, the structural stones sit in storage whilst the tomb’s location lies buried beneath modern tarmac, a common fate for archaeological sites caught in the path of development.
