The National Monuments Service's description
On the steep NW-facing slopes, overlooking Blue Cove, on Sceilg Mhichíl. The N steps, initially rock-cut are formed by stone flags set on a foundation of coursed stones (Wth 1-1.5m; H 0.1-0.2m). These lead upwards from the N landing to NNE and then to S leading up to Christ's Valley.
