300 metres up a lane to the N of the R.127, and to the right, obscured by scrub and bracken, this fine tomb has a capstone 3.6 metres square, supported by portal-stones 1.8 metres high. The large chamber is partly closed by a door-slab 1 metre high. The monument is similar in location and type of stone to that at Kilmogue, Kilkenny.
