The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope of rough upland grazing, on the SE foothills of Miskish Mountain overlooking Berehaven. Two upright stones were recorded in 1991 as standing 0.5m apart and aligned NE-SW. The then upright SW stone (0.80m x 0.4m; H 1.35m) was leaning slightly to the NW. This now lies prostrate on the ground beside the NE stone (0.95m x 0.60m; H 1.35m) which is incorporated into a NW-SE field boundary. A cupmarked stone (CO115-116001-) lies at the base of the NE side of this field boundary.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
