The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural hillock in a valley, enclosed by high ground except to S. The immediate area is wet and rushy and has been planted with coniferous forest, as has the monument itself. The stone pair, composed of shaly limestone, is aligned on an NE-SW axis, with the larger stone (H 0.9m; L 1.6m; T 0.76m) to the SW and the smaller (H 0.82m; L 0.98m; T 0.13-0.25m) located 0.7m to the NE. The stones are roughly centrally placed within a kerbed enclosure (TN033-041002) which consists of a bank with internal and external stone revetment. Only the SE and SW portion of the bank survives.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
