The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a bog within a network of relict field boundaries (KE101-015001-). A row of two upright stones, aligned NE-SW, and a prostrate stone (dims. 0.95m x 0.7m) which lies partially hidden on the ground 1m to the NE. The SW stone (L 1.17m; T 0.3m; H 0.6m), the taller of the two by c. 0.1m, narrows towards its SW end. The upright NE stone (L 0.6m; T 0.27m; H 0.47m) is subrectangular in plan. The two upright stones are 0.9m apart as they protrude above the surface of the bog (D c. 0.15-0.2m). (Ruggles 1999, 193, CKR54a)
