The National Monuments Service's description
Three standing stones (OF007-053001-) encircling a mound (JRSAI 1870, 28), unlocated within the townland of Ballycumber. Described by Thomas Stanley in 1870 as 'Three such stones occupy the centre of a 'foradh' near the island or Ballycumber church. They form a kind of triangle or it might have been a circle; within them a small mound rises to a height of two or three feet' (JRSAI 1870, 28).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
