| This portal tomb is located on a west slope of a low hill, on the eastern slopes of Slieve Carragh, 100m east of a small stream that is a tributary of the River Slaney and is orientated east, upslope. The capstone, measuring 3m in length, 2.4m in width and 1.5m in depth, is supported by a slab-like portal stone 1.6m in height and the door-stone. The second portal stone is leaning inwards and the back-stone has collapsed into the chamber. |
