300 metres S of the road from Inch to Upperchurch and to the west of a by-road this impressive, but partly-ruined wedge-tomb crowns a knoll which offers fine views of an amphitheatre of hills. The gallery survives to a length of over 11 metres, with good double-walling on the S. The façade is missing, but a fine door-slab remains in position. Two large roofstones are also in place, covering the SW (front) end of the gallery.
~ 10.4 km W by S is Baurnadomeeny wedge-tomb.
