The wedge tomb here, a type of megalithic monument common across the west and south of Ireland and generally dated to the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, roughly 2500 to 2000 BC, has been reduced to a scatter of uprights and a fallen slab, yet the essential geometry of it is still legible to anyone willing to look closely enough.

The gallery, the roofed stone passage that forms the burial chamber of a wedge tomb, survives in fragmentary form: approximately 3.5 metres long and 1.2 metres wide, oriented along a northeast to southwest axis, which is a fairly typical alignment for the type. A single upright remains on the northern side, while three stones persist on the southern side, two of them forming what is described as a doubling of the wall, a feature seen in some wedge tombs where an outer shell of stones runs alongside the inner chamber wall. A stone protruding at an angle from the field fence at the rear may be a displaced backstone, and a prostrate slab lying about 3 metres to the northwest could be a sidestone or a roofstone that has shifted from its original position. No trace of the covering mound, which would once have enclosed the whole structure, is now visible. Seán Ó Nualláin documented the site in 1989, placing it within the broader survey of Cork's prehistoric monuments.

The tomb sits just south of the crest of a low ridge, its southern and eastern faces incorporated into the remains of a field fence. That blending of ancient monument and agricultural boundary is part of what makes the site quietly interesting: the stones have not been moved so much as conscripted into a different kind of use, and the boundary they now help form has preserved some of them in roughly their original positions, even as it obscures others.
