 Situated close to its much better known portal namesake, the Kilclooney More Court Tomb has a large gallery almost 20 feet long, with two 3 foot high court stones adjoining at the end. The gallery is not divided into chambers. The entrance jamb stones and the back stone are about 6-1/2 feet high.
In addition, there are two displaced lintels, one, slightly displaced, across the gallery and the other fallen and lying in front of the entrance jambs.
