The National Monuments Service's description
Within the Connemara National Park in an area of rough sheep-grazing land. This possible stone pair is incorporated into a stone field wall. The stones appear to define the ‘pier stones’ of a gateway and one of them may have been moved to its present position. This monument was brought to the attention of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Helen Riekstiņš.
