The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the W end of a slight WNW-ESE ridge. A staggered line of three narrow rectangular limestone pillars are roughly aligned WNW-ESE. The W stone (dims 0.4m x 0.3m; H 1.6m) is 1.55m from the central stone (dims 0.45m x 0.4m; H 1.8m) which is 1m from the E stone (dims 0.3m x 0.25m; H 1.5m). The stump of a fourth stone (dims 0.8m x 0.6m; H 0.6m) is 3m NE of the E stone. All four are protruding from an old grass-covered bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m). (Hayward 1955, 214; Siggins 1986a)
