The National Monuments Service's description

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a N-facing slope, overlooking the Loo River valley. Two stones, which have an overall length of 5m, are aligned ENE-WSW. The ENE stone (L 0.6m; T 0.35m; H 0.7m) is 3.3m from the taller WSW stone (L 1.1m; T 0.6m; H 1.1m). There is a standing stone (KE086-004002-) c. 3m to the S and a radial-stone cairn (KE086-004003-) c. 12m to the SE.
