Up a farm lane and across a field to the N. this fine dolmen is hidden in a hollow and surrounded by bushes. Its portal-stones are 3.6 metres high, framing a fine door-stone 2.7 metres high.
The dramatically-tilted capstone projects beyond the portal and reaches a height of 4.5 metres. Its lower end rests on a smaller, horizontal stone which partly covers the chamber. Traces of cairn survive round about.
~ 3.2 km SW in Garryduff, immediately W of a crossroads 2.4 km NE of Owning is “The Long Stone”, a menhir nearly 3.5 metres high.
~ 20 kms due E, only 2.4 kms W of New Ross, 400metres up a tarred lane to the NW of a by-road leading to Mullinavat – then 400 metres up a grassy track to an abandoned farm, and then across two fields is another another impressive portal-tomb in Glencloghlea (S 698273). The capstone is 3 x 2.4 metres and 1.5 metres thick, and is supported by one slab-like portal-stone 1.5 metres high, and a door-stone. The backstone has collapsed.
