A large stone lies in the centre of the court, partially blocking the view of the gallery entrances. The court is marked partly by orthostats and partly by dry-walling, indicating an intermediary state between an open forecourt and a full-court. In front of the left-hand gallery is a gabled lintel-stone. To the left of the entrance, built into the fabric of the (restored) cairn is a subsidiary chamber, with its roofstone propped up against its front. To the right of the entrance is a second chamber with its roofstone almost in place. Next to each of these chambers is a stone with engravings in passage-tomb style - a unique occurrence at a court-tomb. At mid-day in midwinter the sun rides along a ridge of the mountains to the south and shines directly into the second chamber. Looking southeast from the tomb, the tip of Lergadaghtan protrudes just above the slope north of Slieve League, giving a likely sunrise alignment at mid-winter solstice.
