Occupying the summit of a low knoll overlooking the flood plain of the River Add, 375m SE of Dunamuck, there is a cairn measuring about 33m by 31m and standing up to 2m in height. Ploughing, robbing and dumping of field-gathered stones have given the cairn an irregular outline and profile. Two upright slabs one 1.7m long by 0.3m thick and up to 0.45m high and the other 0.7m long by 0.3m thick and up to 0.7m high, lie almost at right angles to each other 0.2m apart and about 10m from the S edge of the cairn; a slab 2.4m long and 0.2m thick embedded in the cairn material lies nearby. The suggestion that these stones may have formed part of a ruined chamber can be proved only by excavation. An upright earthfast slab 0.5m long by 0.1m thick projects 0.2m from the cairn material at a point 12m N of the upright slabs.
