Cleenrah has a single west facing chamber measuring c.2m long and c.2m wide. The sides and back are made up of five stones each of which is c. 1.50m high. Two of these are Portal Stones situated 0.45m apart and form the front of the monument. Normally portal stones are the tallest, but at Cleenrah they are around the same height as the other upright chamber stones. An inward leaning slab forms each side of the chamber and a backstone set between each of these, closes the chamber. The Large capstone coveres the chamber measuring 2.7m long, 2.5m wide and 1.25m thick
Heading North through Aughnacliffe Village, take the first right (about 1KM after Church. Go left after 500M at a small crossroads. The monument is on the right after about 800M, just after crossing a small stream that flows from Leebeen Lough and is accessed through a gate into the field. There is no parking on this narrow road so park further up at the farmhouse and walk back down the road. Private Property. Ask permission!
