The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a terrace to the S of a medieval road (KE108-013007-), on the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknaveacal. This stone row comprises three stones, aligned ENE-WSW, and measures 6.3m in overall length. Excavation revealed the socket of a fourth stone to the E and stratigraphic evidence suggests that the row was erected some centuries before the nearby five-stone circle (KE108-013004-), c. 1m to the N (Lynch 1981, 64-9). The ENE stone (L 1.4m; T 1m; H 2.4m) is the tallest and the WSW stone (L 0.6m; T 0.5m; H 1.4m) is the smallest. There is a multiple-stone circle (KE108-013001-) c. 80m to the W, a fulacht fia (KE108-056----) c. 50m to the SE, relict field boundaries (KE108-013005-) immediately to the W and S, and a field boundary (KE108-013006-) lies c. 70m to the E. (Ó Nualláin 1984a, 45, no. 93; 1988, 240, no. 69; Ruggles 1999, 193, CKR66)
