The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Quinn and Carroll (2010) as ‘located in pasture on relatively flat ground. Comprises a linear ‘cairn’ of stones within a sub-circular stone setting. The cairn measures 2.1m E/W and 1m in width N/S. It is located in a small hollow surrounded by a possible sub-circular arrangement of stones (8 stones) which are now grass covered.'
