The National Monuments Service's description
In Bonane Heritage Park, on a break on a SW-facing slope. The boulder-burial stands in the centre of a multiple-stone circle (KE102-032002-) and consists of a large boulder (1.6m x 1.6m; T 1m) resting on at least three support-stones. A pad-stone has been inserted to steady the boulder. A fulacht fia (KE102-032004-) lies c. 25m to the E.
