The National Monuments Service's description
In hilly pastureland, located on a rise overlooked by higher ground 40m to N. Nephin Mountain is visible on the far horizon to WSW.
Two upright boulders set 1.44m apart, on a N-S axis. The S stone (H 1.6m; Wth 1.6m; L 1.6m; T 0.35m at top, 0.75m at base) is the largest and has a triangular profile. The N stone (H 1.05m; L c. 0.9m; T 0.45m at top, 0.6m at base) also narrows towards the top in a roughly triangular shape, but has a more rounded profile, and leans slightly to the E.
