Just a few hundred metres across a boggy field (and through a gate) from the oddity of Loughscur (County Leitrim) that has me so confused are the scant ruins of this court tomb. Despite there being so little left it is possible to work out what was once there. Three or so orthostats of the gallery remain and this was oriented NE-SW. A tree grows out of a line of orthostats runs along a fence which formed the southeast side of the kerb and two stones from the facade are in place. The arrangement of these stones indicate that the cairn was quite narrow and trapezoidal in shape. The court would have been very shallow and very narrow.
With the current tree intervention it is hard to say, but it would appear that the gallery pointed at Sheemore (north tomb) (County Leitrim) 3.5 miles away.
