The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland grazing, on a mantle of blanket bog on a gentle SE-facing slope. Two upright stones, aligned NW-SE, are both roughly rectangular in plan and stand 1.3m apart. The NW stone (0.60m x 0.28m; H 0.84m) narrows to a pointed top at its SE side. The SE stone (0.8m x 0.42m; H 0.82m) narrows slightly as it rises and has an almost level upper surface. A multiple-stone circle (50, vol. 1) is c. 200m to the SE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
