The National Monuments Service's description

Marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as a ‘Pile of Stones’. It is located on rock outcrop of a N-S ridge on the unbuilt townland boundary between Aghavoghil to the W and Conwal South to the E. This is a pile of loose stones (diam. c. 2m; H 0.5m). The boundary cairn (LE004-017002-) is c. 50m to the S.
