This little wedge tomb is dominated by the nearby cairn ( Leana). The two monuments look down upon the tombs at Parknabinnia and can be seen from them.

The gallery is aligned roughly north-south. All four walls are in place and buried quite high in the cairn. The inside of the gallery is fairly clear. The roof stone is almost in place and just tipped up at a funny angle, half in, half out of the tomb.

At the north end there are two overlapping stones blocking the entrance just as at the main Parknabinnia site.
