The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture with commanding views over the undulating countryside SE-SW and W to Shehy More. The ground rises to the E and there is a coniferous wood to the N. An irregularly shaped, orange-coloured, quartz boulder, with an almost flat top, rests on four support-stones. A standing stone pair (CO094-130002-) is 0.75m to the ENE and a second boulder-burial (CO094-130001-) stands 25m to the ENE. Two more orange-coloured quartz stones and a smaller sandstone block lie on the ground, a short distance to the WSW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
