The National Monuments Service's description
On shoulder of SW-facing slope in rolling arable land. Stones, aligned NE-SW, stand 1m apart; overall length is 2.95m. NE stone is 1.2m L, 0.7m T and 2m H. SW stone is 0.8m L, 0.7m T and 1.6m H. Loose quartzite block (1.4m maximum dimension) lies between stones and another stone (1.4m maximum dimension) lies at NE foot of N stone. Third stone is partially exposed beside NW side of SW stone; these stones appear to be field clearance debris. (O Nualláin 1988, 245, no. 106)
