The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, atop ridge. Row of three stones, one of which is prostrate. Two upright stones are aligned ENE-WSW. W stone is a massive slab 1.15m L, 0.3m T and 2.9m H. E stone, 1.2m from the last, is split in two pieces; it is 0.7m L, c. 0.5m T and 0.7m H. Third stone lies beside it to N; it is 2.75m by 0.4m by at least 0.55m T. It seems likely that it formed part of the row. (O Nualláin 1988, 237, no. 54; Roberts 1988, Ch. 4, no. 1)
