The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a SW-facing slope of the Comeragh Mountains and at the inner edge of a spur that extends off to the SW. A stone alignment oriented N-S (L 6.8m) is composed of two conglomerate stones and the stump of a third. The S stone is rectangular and crested (dims. 0.7m x 0.5m; H 1.72m), the central stone is subrectangular and pointed (dims. 0.6m x 0.5m; H 1.78m), and the N stone is a rectangular stump (dims. 0.4m x 0.2m; H 0.4m). The distances between the stones from the S are 1.3m and 3.75m.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
