The National Monuments Service's description
On level pastureland c. 30m S of a storm beach and approximately centrally located between three fulachtaí fia (CL002-007004-, CL002-007005- and CL002-007006-) (28–35m distant), the latter two of which are classified as possible. Two slabs of karst limestone set on their long edges and orientated NNE-SSW. The space between them widens from NNE (Wth 1.3m) to SSW (Wth 1.4m). The W stone (L 1.9m; T 0.3m) is higher on its NNE end (H 0.5m) than on its SSW end (H 0.45m). The E stone (L 1.5m; T 0.25m) is higher on its SSW end (H 0.88m) than on its NNE (0.6m). The upper eroded surfaces of both slabs face outward.
