What makes the site quietly arresting is less what survives than how it survives: a ruined gallery of standing stones, partially swallowed by the earth, with a single corbel or displaced roofstone still pushing up through the ground at the south side, like a knuckle breaking the surface.

The gallery runs northwest to southeast and measures roughly 5.5 metres in length and about 2 metres in width. Four sidestones remain on its north side, two on the south, and a backstone stands at the northwest end. The overall length of the structure suggests it originally held at least two chambers, which is consistent with the court tomb tradition, a form of communal megalithic burial monument common in the west and north of Ireland during the Neolithic period, typically featuring a roofed gallery divided into segments and fronted by an open forecourt. Here, the gallery sits at the southeast end of a long cairn or mound that stretches to 27.5 metres in length, widening to 12 metres at the southeast and narrowing to roughly 3 metres at the northwest. The monument was documented by the archaeologist Ó Nualláin in 1989, and remains one of many such structures scattered across the landscape of north Galway, most of them known mainly to those who go looking.
