The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S-facing slope of Tooreen Hill. Originally of four stones (L c. 5.5m), it is now reduced to three conglomerate stones aligned NE-SW (L 3.2m). The NE stone is triangular (dims. 0.75m x 0.3m; H 0.55m), the central stone is rectangular (dims. 0.6m x 0.2m; H 0.5m), and the SW stone is square (dims. 0.35m x 0.35m; H 0.6m). The distances between the stones from the SW are 1.1m and 0.9m. An outlier (dims. 0.5m x 0.25m; H 0.45m) is 2m to NW. (Ó Nualláin 1988, 241)
