The National Monuments Service's description
Roughly 7m E of the Giant's Rock there is a large slab (max. dim. 4m) which is substantially covered by a layer of heather-grown peat. The slab seems to lean on two stones, both of which appear to be almost wholly buried. It is not be possible to form any reliable opinion as to whether this is natural or artificial in origin.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
