This is another of those monuments that really should be better known. It also should be cleared of the brambles that obscure the front. Sadly, it's impossible to see the the portal stones and doorstones from the front. You can just about tell that the portal stones are set inside the wall stones of the chamber. Looking through the back you can see the silhouette of the slim, full-height doorstone.
The monument is pretty large. The top of the capstone (which has broken in two) is over 2m high. The chamber is roughly 2m long, 1.5m wide and 1.5m tall.
Standing back at the road and looking over the tomb you can see the beautifully round-topped Ardkill More hill to the north. Presumably, if the trees directly in front of the tomb were removed then you'd be able to see Slieve Glah due north.
