The National Monuments Service's description
According to local information, two upright stones stood in this location. In the mid-1990s they were described as being 0.4m apart. The S stone (1.3m x 0.2m; H 0.95m) was described as being aligned NW-SE while the N stone (1.1m x 0.25m; H 1.4m) was aligned NNW-SSE. The density of the vegetation prohibited access for inspection in 2004.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
