The National Monuments Service's description
There are three limestone uprights in an undulating landscape. The central one (LE001-013----) (dims 1.8m x 0.3m; H 1.1m) is upright with a similar stone (LE001-013001-) (H 1m; L 1.7m; T. 0.5m) leaning against it. There is a natural boulder to the N and a third upright (H 1.05m) c. 48m to the NNW. Archaeological testing (01E0995) c. 55m to the NE recovered one flint scraper as a stray find (Quinn 2003a).
