The National Monuments Service's description
In a plantation of coniferous trees. There is now no evident trace of the 'pillar stone' mentioned by T.F. Riley in his 1935 excavation report of a nearby 'dolmen' (see LI017-032---). He located the stone 150m E of the 'dolmen' (LI017-032---). According to local information the stone was removed when the trees were planted here in the 1970s.
