The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low platform in an upland area with a bowl-barrow (TN019-016----) c. 42m to NW and rock outcrop decorated with cup-marks (TN019-053----) 20m to to the W. Two limestone orthostats, aligned E-W, and 9.5m apart. Both stones are triangular in shape with the tops of the stones sloping from N-S. The E stone is erect (H 2.1m; 1.1m x 0.9m) while the W stone (H 1.5m; 0.6m x 1.1m) has fallen and is resting on its packing-stones. The NW face of the upright E stone appears to have cupmarks similar to the carvings on the rock outcrop (TN019-053----) to the W.
