The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground, on a slight dry rise in otherwise waterlogged ground. A boulder (1.8m x 1.5m; T 0.7m) rests on three support-stones. The two most northerly support-stones are each 0.35m H while the southerly stone is 0.25m H. Above the lowest support-stone is a pad-stone which serves to steady the cover-stone above its supports (Ó Nualláin 1986, 124).
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).
