The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on a terrace at the head of a valley sloping down to the NE, between Doughill Mountain to the NW and Douce Mountain to the SE. Two upright stones, aligned NE-SW, stand 0.8m apart and measure 2.2m in overall length. The NE stone (0.7m x 0.15m; H 0.75m) is rectangular in plan and section. The SW stone (0.7m x 0.35m; H 1.05m) is also rectangular in plan and section and leans slightly to the SW. There is a hut site (CO092-066002-) c. 16m to the SE and a second standing stone-pair (CO092-067----) is c. 170m to the NE.
