This megalithic monument, positioned on a slight rise with commanding views across Loughros More Bay, consists of a stone gallery roughly 6 metres long and 2 to 2.5 metres wide. The entrance faces east, marked by two tall jambs; the northern one stands 1.45 metres high whilst its southern counterpart reaches 1.6 metres. Just outside the northern jamb, two courtstones hint at what was once a more elaborate ceremonial forecourt.

The gallery’s construction showcases the sophisticated building techniques of Ireland’s Neolithic farmers. Three orthostats line each side of the chamber, with a tall backstone, originally gabled in outline though now broken, sealing the western end at 1.65 metres high. Above the southern side, a tier of three contiguous corbels remains in place, with two additional displaced corbels lying outside, suggesting the monument once featured a more complex roofing system. A large lintel, likely inverted and displaced from its original position, now rests precariously across the middle orthostats with its bellied underside hanging just 45 centimetres above the gallery floor. Historical evidence supports a grander original structure; a watercolour from 1799 depicts a lintel spanning the front of the gallery that has since fallen and now lies prostrate about a metre from the entrance.

Traces of a cairn, measuring approximately 17 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west, can still be discerned as a slightly raised, grass-grown area around the tomb’s sides and back, broken in places by rock outcrops. The gallery’s length suggests it was originally divided into two chambers, a common feature in court tombs of this type. When surveyor Thomas Fagan visited in 1847, he found the monument in much the same condition as today, though an OS Revision Name Book from the same period mentions ‘foundations of cabins’ at or near the site that have since vanished. From this ancient burial place, visitors can spot one of two other portal tombs in the townland, 500 metres to the east, maintaining a visual connection between these monuments that has endured for over five millennia.
