The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the top of the E-facing slope of a W-E spur. A level flat-topped D-shaped stone (dims 1.1m E-W; 1.1m N-S) with the straight edge (L 0.6m) at SE emerges from the slope (max. H 0.6m at E) with a single basin (dims 0.2m x 0.12m; D 0.06m). It is known locally as a mass-rock and Mass was celebrated here in 2001.
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.
