The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight ridge in an area of thin soiled pasture. A rectangular area (c. 2m E W; c. 1m N S) is defined by three upright stones along the E (H 0.25m; Wth 0.45m; T 0.1m), S (H 0.8m; Wth 0.65m; T 0.25m) and W (H 0.5m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.25m) sides. The stones are not securely set. A prostrate slab lies to the SW of the structure. The origin and purpose of this monument remain to be determined and it may not be ancient.
