The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of Two Rock Mountain. This is a roughly circular flat-topped cairn (diam.27m; H 3m). There are two inclined kerbstones on the N side, c. 3m apart. According to the ITA Survey (1945) there were indications of a passage extending NW-SE axis. This is not apparent today (Price 1940, 124; Herity 1974, 209, 257).
