The National Monuments Service's description
In rough gorse and heather-covered grazing on the S-facing slopes of an E-W ridge overlooking the valley of the Borlin River. Two contiguous stone slabs, and a single parallel stone slab (H 0.85m; 1.75m x 0.2m) stand 0.4m apart. All slabs lean slightly outwards and decrease in height from NNW to SSE. A fragment of a slab is resting on the ground at N and may have been broken from one of the larger slabs. Badgers have disturbed the ground beneath the stones.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
