The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, at the bottom of a steep NW-facing slope and in a possible enclosure (KE075-010001-). In the 1930s Capt. D.B. O'Connell noted that there was a slight mound with 'two massive flagstones under which are extensive cavities' in the centre of a large field sloping down from a farmhouse (SMR file). There are no visible remains of these stones or of the cavity underneath. Numerous stones and rocks are scattered along the boundary to the N.
