The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad plateau in rough pasture, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-255---). This possible wedge tomb comprises two bulky parallel limestone slabs (SE slab L 1.7m; H 0.7m; T 0.3m; NW slab 1.3m; H 0.45m; T 0.2-0.3m), aligned NE-SW. These slabs are 1.4m apart at the SW, and 1.8m apart at the NE, with a partly grass-covered concentration of smaller stones between them, closer to the NE end.
