The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of a slope. A large slab, 1.6m long and 1.15m high, leans against an upright stone, 1.35m long and 0.85m high, at right angles to its southern end. A third slab rests against the leaning stone and to the N of the group there is a prostrate stone. Site may be largely natural in origin. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 138, No. 5)
