From a distance it reads as little more than a grassy mound with slabs jutting awkwardly from its edges. Look closer, however, and the outline of a wedge tomb begins to resolve itself, a form of megalithic monument built during the late Neolithic and into the early Bronze Age, typically consisting of a roofed stone chamber that narrows or lowers towards one end, often oriented with its wider opening facing west or south-west. This one is aligned roughly east-north-east to west-south-west, and though heavily ruined, enough survives to trace its basic anatomy: two stones forming the northern wall of the chamber, an inclined slab crossing the western end, and a scatter of displaced slabs along the southern side.

A 2015 excavation led by Ros Ó Maoldúin brought a good deal of unexpected detail to light. The chamber proved to be set at the centre of a circular cairn, a deliberate mound of stones, roughly 7 metres across and edged by a kerb of upright or near-upright stones. Inside that outer kerb, a second, inner kerb-line came to light, forming a ring of about 4 metres in diameter around the chamber itself, a feature that points to careful, layered construction rather than simple infill. The human remains were substantial: both cremated and unburnt bone recovered mostly from within the chamber, though no grave goods accompanied them. Stranger still was the discovery of an unburnt, partially articulated adult skeleton positioned outside the chamber proper, within a pile of stones at the north-north-west end. Whether this represents a later intrusion or was part of the original burial sequence is not resolved. Scattered lithics, mostly debitage, the waste flakes produced when knapping flint or stone tools, were found across the cairn, but could not be conclusively tied to the burial deposits.

The ruined state of the tomb means the full dimensions of the original chamber cannot be measured, though it was at least 2 metres long. The prostrate slabs visible along the western and southern edges of the mound are likely the remains of the outer kerb, slowly sinking into the ground over millennia. It is an unassuming site, but the 2015 excavation revealed a monument with more structural sophistication, and more human presence, than its surface appearance suggests.
