The National Monuments Service's description
In a plantation of coniferous trees. There is now no evident surface trace of the 'second overturned dolmen' mentioned by T.F. Riley in his report on the excavation of a 'dolmen' in 1935 (NMI). The site is located on an accompanying sketch map 50m E of the excavated 'dolmen' (LI017-032---). According to local information the two structures were removed when trees were planted here in the 1970s.
