The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a hillock, overlooking a small stream. A large limestone slab (L 2.6m; Wth 1.8m; T 0.4m) resting on three smaller boulders (dims of one: 1.1m x 0.85m; H 0.26m). Other slabs were also noted in the vicinity. The group is located on an elongated mound (SL021-026002-) which utilises part of the natural hillock.
