Wedge tombs are among the most numerous megalithic monument types in Ireland, generally dating to the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, and they take their name from their characteristic shape: wider and taller at the western end, tapering toward the east. This one follows that pattern faithfully, but on a notably small scale, its gallery measuring just one and a half metres in length.

The structure consists of two sidestones running north and south, with a backstone set into the eastern end closing off the gallery. At the western end, the sidestones are doubled, a feature associated with the more elaborated construction seen in some examples of the type, and a low stone placed transversely at the western end of the north side may represent the remains of a façade, the ceremonial front of the monument. The gallery narrows slightly from west to east, dropping from roughly eighty centimetres wide to seventy-five, and the height decreases in the same direction. A displaced roofstone still rests over the eastern end. What makes the setting particularly worth noting is that a stone row stands approximately one hundred and fifty metres uphill to the south, suggesting this part of the hillside was a focus of repeated or related ceremonial activity during prehistory rather than an isolated monument in an empty landscape. The pairing of a wedge tomb with a nearby stone row is not unheard of in Munster, and the spatial relationship between the two here invites curiosity about how they were understood and used together by the people who built them.
