The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, with views W to Killarney and Macgillycuddy's Reeks. Two upright stones, aligned E-W. The E stone (L 2.2m; T 1.52m; H 2.3m) is 2.22m from the W stone (L 1.3m; T 1.11m; H 2.15m). Indeterminate surface scribing (KE067-020003-) and a possible date of 1824 are evident on the surface of the W stone, which also has glacial striations. An embanked stone circle (KE067-020002-) lies c. 14m to the N. (Ó Nualláin 1988, 250, no. 154)
