the town of Monivea, ‘Muine Mhea’, in the side garden of a farmhouse. The tomb,
orientated NE - SW, consists of a small chamber covered in a sub-rectangular roof-
stone measuring 2m in length, 1.1m in width and 0.40m in depth. It is supported by
three small side-stones on the north side and a single side-stone on the south side. The
entire structure is sited on a narrow plateau, which falls off gently to the SW.
