The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on a fern and gorse-covered terrace on a N-facing slope overlooking Inchigeela and Lough Allua. An irregularly shaped boulder (1.45m N-S; 1.35m E-W; H 1.1m) rests on three stones (H 0.07-0.25m), the largest of which supports its N side. A loose stone, resting against the S side, appears to be a recent addition. A glacial erratic is 1m to the E.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
