The National Monuments Service's description
OPW topographical files (1947) record a capstone (1.8m by 1.8m) at a height of c. 0.45m above the ground, resting on five or six smaller stones, and set in the centre of a low mound (diam. 9m). There was a holed stone (MA040-063001-) located 6.7m to N and a standing stone (MA040-063003-) 2.4m to S. All three features removed from their original locations and buried during land reclamation work.
