The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' and situated on a W-facing slope. A slab (dims 1.2m x 1.1m) is resting on a N stone (dims 0.8m x 0.2m; H 0.4m) and a S stone (dims 0.5m x 0.2m; H 0.2m). Both uprights are aligned E-W, and the feature may be natural. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 41-2)
