The National Monuments Service's description
According to O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 277, 946), this leacht consists of a loosely piled, rectangular platform of stones that is retained by upright slabs set on edge. Some of these slabs, which average .5m high, incline markedly outwards. The leacht measures 4.5m N-S x 3.5m E-W and its composition includes much quartz. It is surmounted by a stone cross KE079-035----.
