The National Monuments Service's description
This area was inspected in July 1968 following a proposal to reclaim the land and the reporting of ‘three stones standing in separate locations within the area’. A least one stone had an adjoining small mound (SMR file). Only foundations of farm buildings, which may have been associated with the tower house (GA104-166----) c. 130m to the W, were evident. The land has since been reclaimed and no visible surface traces survive.
