The National Monuments Service's description
Situated 10m WNW of the site of the celebrated Killycluggin Stone (93). Much disturbed. Subcircular raised area (int. dims. 22m E-W; 18.6m N-S) enclosed by a total of eighteen stones, all but five of which have fallen. The site is divided into two unequal portions by a field boundary running N-S. The smaller portion, W of this, is defined by four orthostats still in position. The largest stone (now fallen) is at NNE (L 3.93m; dims. 1.45m x 0.68m). (Ó Ríordáin 1979, 155; Killanin and Duignan 1989, 61)
