It does not stand alone. Part of a cluster of three related tombs in the north-eastern foothills of the Slieve Aughty Mountains, and located within what was once Marble Hill demesne, an estate that contained at least four further megalithic-type structures nearby, the site suggests a prehistoric landscape that was once considerably more populated with the monumental dead than the quiet rolling fields around it might now imply.

The tomb itself is ruined but legible. The chamber runs to roughly two metres in length, with its entrance oriented to the south-east, framed by two portal-stones and two sidestones, all of it once covered by a large roofstone that still rests in place. The eastern portal-stone and its adjacent sidestone have since collapsed inwards, and a displaced stone lies just outside the entrance, with two further stones at the northern end of the chamber. Low traces of the original earthen mound that would have encased the structure are still faintly visible around it. The site appears in O'Flanagan's work of 1927 and was later recorded in detail by Ruaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin in their 1972 survey of megalithic tombs across the Irish midlands and west, a volume that catalogued dozens of such monuments across counties including Galway, Roscommon, and Kildare.

The setting, farmland on the lower slopes of the Slieve Aughty range, means the monument sits in working countryside rather than a managed heritage site. Visitors approaching from Ballinlough should expect the kind of access common to field monuments in rural Galway, where a degree of local knowledge and a willingness to read the ground carefully are often more useful than any signpost.
