The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on the W-facing slope of a steep hill but below the steep incline of Arroo peak which rises over the location to the E. There is a small drystone wall enclosure (dims c. 6m x c. 4m) which may be a hut-site or more likely a sheepfold built around the standing stone pair (LE003-002001-) (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 49-50).
