The National Monuments Service's description
In bogland. A row of spaced stones noted in a turf cutting appeared to form a line running NE-SW. The stones, which were scattered over a distance of c. 30m, were visible at a depth of c. 2m below the bog surface. They may be the remains of pathway across the bog.
