What appears to be double-walling round the chamber has led to the monument being classified as a wedge tomb, a view strengthened by the length of the chamber. But these stones may be fallen corbels, and its orientation to the E would be unique among the 400 known wedge-tombs, and so some authorities reward it as a portal-tomb. Its perplexing features suggest, however, that it is a hybrid structure.
A little over 850 meters to the N is Bohonagh axial-stone circle.
Access: 2.4km (1 1/2miles) E of Ross Carbery, conspicuously sited across a little valley E of the Clonakilty-Rosscarbery road on a ledge of the hillside, and approachable via a farm to the SW of a byroad leading SW off the Rosscarbery-Clonakilty road to the NE of the tomb.
