The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on shoulder of S-facing slope on N side of Lee River valley. Stones, aligned NNE-SSW, stand 1.45m apart; overall length is 3.2m. NE stone leans to NE; it is 0.65m L, 0.25m T and, if erect, 1.55m H. SW stone is 0.95m L, 0.6m T and 1.57m H. These may be stones recorded by O'Mahony (1909, 213) as 'three dallauns in line standing at short distances from each other, two of them were about four feet high, and the third but about one foot'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
