The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a NW-SE ridge on poorly drained bogland in mountainous area with extensive views. A tall rectangular slab which tapers at the top (H 2m; dims. 1.16m x 0.4m) orientated on a N-S axis. A large recumbent slab (dims. 1.55m x 1.3m x 0.2m) 1.6m to the N which appears to have been recently knocked down. If originally erect, it may have formed a stone pair.
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.
