The juxtaposition is quietly arresting: a structure built several thousand years ago to mark, shelter, or memorialise the dead, now overshadowed by turbines erected in 2000. The tomb itself is a wedge tomb, a type of megalithic monument found predominantly in the west and south of Ireland, characterised by a roofed stone gallery that narrows and lowers from entrance to back, typically oriented with its wider, taller end facing broadly west.

Most of the monument remains buried, but enough has been exposed to make sense of its original form. The gallery is aligned WSW-ENE, and the western entrance section is the most visible, with two sidestones on each side and three outer-wall stones, the double-walled construction being a hallmark of the wedge tomb tradition. The outer-wall stones flanking the entrance stand higher than the inner gallery sidestones beside them, and the stones decrease in height as they run eastward, consistent with the characteristic wedge profile. The total length of the monument to its eastern endstone measures 4.4 metres, with an exposed gallery length of at least 2.3 metres. The gallery width runs from 1.07 metres at the western end, narrowing to around 0.77 metres at its estimated centre. A single endstone at the eastern end, which may be either a backstone closing the gallery or a kerb stone marking the monument's outer edge, has been partly uncovered by cutway bog to the east. Cutway bog refers to land where peat has been removed by hand or machine over generations, and the gradual lowering of the surrounding ground surface has, in this case, inadvertently revealed what might otherwise have remained hidden.
