The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded on the 1837 6-inch map as 'Cromlech'. Ó Nualláin (1989, 95) states that 'This feature was shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map but not on subsequent editions. Nothing survives at the postion marked on the map but a few stones in the nearby fence, to the S, may represent the last remains of the monument.'
