The National Monuments Service's description
Two depressions, .06m apart are cut in the natural rock surface. The larger is .23m across and 0.14m deep and the smaller .18m across and 0.05m deep. They are described on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'St. Begley's Knee Stone'. To one side, just projecting above ground level is a stone on edge, clearly artificially positioned. The site is at the top of a steep W facing slope in pasture land.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
