The National Monuments Service's description

This feature, not shown on OS 6-inch maps, is listed in the SMR for County Donegal (1987) as a megalithic tomb. There are three low stones here, lying approximately NE-SW, but, although they appear deliberately set, they are not part of a megalithic tomb.
SMR 1987, 103:49; RMP 1995, 103:49.

The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
