What survives most visibly is a single orthostat, a large upright standing stone, rising to 1.2 metres at the western end of the tomb's northern side. Around it, the rest of the structure has come apart in ways both ancient and recent.

The chamber was originally aligned east to west, as is common with wedge tombs, a type of megalithic monument built during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age in which the internal chamber typically narrows and lowers toward the eastern end. Whether this particular tomb is genuinely a wedge tomb cannot be confirmed with certainty; the evidence is consistent with that classification, but the damage makes a definitive reading impossible. Much of that damage occurred around 1980, when a number of boulders were dumped at the eastern end of the chamber. The effect was cascading: the roof-stone fell, dropping into the gap between the southern sidestone, which had collapsed outward, and a second northern sidestone whose eastern end was pushed out toward the north-east. The accumulated earth and stone visible at the western end may not be ancient at all, but rather the residue of field clearance over the years. The site was recorded by Roberts in 1988 under the name Drishanemore, suggesting an older placename attached to this corner of the Ardagilla townland, and it was subsequently included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, Volume 1.
