The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, at the SW end of a rise overlooking the sea, in gently undulating sand dune pasture. Rectangular depression (dims. 3.45m NE-SW; 0.45m NW-SE; D 0.15m), slightly curved at SW end, defined by a vertical scarped edge and 18 small limestone slabs (av. L 0.3m) laid on edge. The base of the depression is level. A possible capstone (L 0.45m; Wth. 0.4m; T .02m), now broken in two halves along its width, lies flat immediately to the NW of the SW end of the depression.
