200 metres S of a road-junction, 3.3 km NW of Ballinskelligs, this well-preserved and picturesque tomb’s main chamber is covered by a capstone just under 3 metres long. There is an opening in the narrow E end which may be original. The antechamber/portico is unroofed and made with high slabs, the largest being 1.5 metres high. There are two closing-slabs with a deliberate gap in the N side.
