The monument sits on a relatively level patch of ground amongst rocky outcrops, its weathered stones bearing witness to thousands of years of Donegal’s harsh Atlantic weather. A low, grass covered mound measuring roughly 9.5 by 9 metres encircles the structure, though its eastern edge has become difficult to distinguish where it merges with the natural bedrock.

The tomb itself consists of a small chamber facing east, measuring about 2 metres long and less than a metre wide. Only three of the original upright stones remain standing; two forming the northern side, including a portal stone that has split into separate pieces, likely damaged over time, and a sidestone that now leans inward. The southern side is formed by a single standing stone opposite the northern sidestone. The chamber’s massive main roofstone, a slab measuring 2.5 metres long and up to 2.1 metres wide, has slipped from its original position and now rests at an angle, its front end on the ground whilst the back is propped up by a smaller subsidiary roofstone and the portal stone.

When antiquarian Thomas Fagan documented this site in 1847, he noted the tomb was already in this collapsed state, suggesting it has remained relatively unchanged for at least 175 years. The monument was later catalogued in various archaeological surveys throughout the 20th century, most comprehensively in Eamon Cody’s 2002 Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Despite its ruined condition, this portal tomb remains an evocative reminder of Ireland’s Neolithic past, when such structures served as both burial places and territorial markers for the island’s earliest farming communities.
