The monument sits on a gentle south-facing slope about 700 metres north of the River Finn, commanding sweeping views across the river valley below. When archaeologists surveyed the site in 1982, they found it almost completely engulfed by evergreen trees planted in the 1960s, with dense briars and vegetation obscuring much of the structure. After extensive clearing work, they revealed the remains of what was once an impressive megalithic tomb.

The monument consists of a court at the eastern end, leading to a long, narrow mound approximately 12 metres in length. This mound, which narrows from about 5 metres wide at the front to 3.5 metres at the back, still retains lines of leaning corbel stones along its perimeter; sixteen can be identified along the north side and seven along the south, though many have been dislodged over the millennia and now lie scattered around the site. About 3 metres from the western end, there’s an intriguing hole in the mound where a large stone is exposed, possibly the remains of what Thomas Fagan described in the 1840s as a grave “enclosed by flat stones at sides and covered by a flag”. Three stones from the inner court survive, two on the north side and one on the south, with the tallest standing 1.4 metres high when upright.

The original cairn that once covered the entire structure appears to have been at least 20 metres long, narrowing from a broad eastern end to a rounded western terminus. Lines of kerbstones, though incomplete, can still be traced around parts of the monument’s perimeter, including a 9.2 metre stretch along the southern side where one conspicuous white quartz block catches the eye. Despite centuries of stone robbing, agricultural activity, and encroaching vegetation, enough survives of this court tomb to appreciate its original scale and complexity, making it a significant, if overlooked, piece of County Donegal’s prehistoric heritage.
