The monument is ruined, but enough survives to make out what it once was: an east-west gallery defined by sidestones and a backstone at the eastern end, with traces of an outer wall on both north and south sides and a displaced roofstone resting above the eastern end. A wedge tomb is a type of megalithic burial monument, typically dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, characterised by a gallery that is wider and higher at one end and tapers toward the other. This example measures roughly 2.9 metres in length and about 1.3 metres in width, placing it on the modest end of the scale.

The site sits close to a natural rock outcrop near the head of the valley, a setting that feels deliberate rather than incidental. Around the northern side of the structure, traces of an earthen mound are still detectable, suggesting the stones were once enclosed within a cairn or barrow of some kind. What makes the location quietly remarkable is the proximity of a second wedge tomb, recorded as standing approximately 300 metres to the east in the neighbouring townland of Cornery. The paired presence of two such monuments within a short distance of each other, in an otherwise remote upland valley, points to a landscape that carried some sustained significance for the communities who built here. The site was catalogued by Ruaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin in their systematic survey of megalithic tombs across Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Tipperary, published in 1982.
