In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Drimminboy River. A pair of upright stones, aligned WNW-ESE. The WNW stone (L 0.82m; T 0.37m; H 1.05m) is 4.55m from the ESE stone (L 0.6m; T 0.28m; H 0.7m), which leans slightly to the N. There is a hut site (KE111-019002-) c. 2m to the SW and a megalithic structure (KE111-019003-) c. 5m to the SE.
