The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad S-facing shelf on the lower slopes of Gortaclare Mountain. A number of upright slabs form a box-like feature most of which appears to be relatively modern however, three stones deeply set and parallel at NE may be the remains of a cist. A possible burial mound (CL006-042017-) lies c. 50m to the ESE. (Carey 2009, 124)
