This site is very identifiable as a court tomb, although it is not very impressive in stature. However, the courtyard is almost complete as is the boat shaped gallery, some 4m long and segmented into at least three chambers.
The court is 4m wide and 3m deep and faces north towards the lough, but the lough is not actually visible because the tomb is built just over the southern side of the hill.
There is a huge tree just 30m from the tomb, but apart from that the only feature nearby is the hedgerow, so the layout of the stones is very clear. This would be a great place to sit for a while if the ground was not so water-logged.
