The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins with the N-S Cloone River c. 50m to the E. Three orhtostats and one displaced stone (max. dim. 0.9m) form a rough chamber which is overgrown and may be the remains of a tomb. An E stone (dims 1.6m x 0.5m; H 0.9m) is c. 2m from a W stone (dims 1.15m x 0.8m; H 1.25m). A third stone (dims 2.35m x 0.35m; H 0.8m) is 2m N of the W stone. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 86)
