The National Monuments Service's description
Two partly buried boulders are all that remain of this site (Herity 1974, 266, Sl. 26; Burenhult 1980, 89, map 4, No. 14; Kitchin 1983, 169; Bergh 1995, 186, Carrowmore 14).
Petrie (1837) described this as 'south of No. 13 and at the corner of the road. A few stones only remain; the rest, including the cromleac, have been displaced or removed by raising gravel.' (OS Letters, 176). Wood-Martin (1888) notes 'only two stones half buried in a pit are visible'.
This is a National Monument in State care (No. 153).
