The National Monuments Service's description
At the bottom of a S-facing slope at the head of a small NE-SW valley with a stream in a coniferous forest. A line (L 3m ENE-WSW) of four stones (dims. c. 0.5m-0.8m x 0.5m; H 0.5m), one of which has a pointed top (H 1.1m), meets a second line (L 1.1m) running S from its W end. None of the stones have any markings, but local tradition associates it with a Fr. McGriskin. (Gallogly 1993-4, 435)
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
