The monument, now somewhat hidden by surrounding trees and bushes that limit its once commanding views, consists of a stone gallery that would have served as a burial chamber thousands of years ago. What makes this particular tomb intriguing is its unusual design; unlike many court tombs found across Ireland, this one lacks the characteristic forecourt area typically used for rituals, and there’s no evidence of the earthen mound that would have originally covered the structure.

The gallery itself stretches 6.4 metres in length and varies between 1.8 and 2 metres in width, entered through an eastern doorway formed by two upright stone jambs supporting a substantial lintel block. This lintel, with its distinctive humpbacked upper surface, measures 1.7 metres long and up to 0.75 metres thick. The chamber walls are constructed from massive stone slabs, or orthostats, with two forming the northern side and four the southern, while a flat-topped backstone seals the western end. The inner half of the gallery floor sits about half a metre below the surrounding ground level, whilst the outer section contains a considerable accumulation of stones.

Historical records from the 1840s, including detailed accounts by Thomas Fagan and entries in Ordnance Survey Name Books, confirm the tomb has remained largely unchanged since at least the mid-19th century, when it was already incorporated into a field wall. Based on its length, archaeologists suggest the gallery was likely divided into two separate chambers, a common feature in Irish megalithic tombs. The monument represents one of many prehistoric burial sites scattered across County Donegal, each offering valuable insights into the burial practices and architectural capabilities of Ireland’s earliest farming communities.
