The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a W-facing slope overlooking a col between Croughaun Hill and the Comeragh Mountains to the W. Three conglomerate stones form a row aligned E-W (L 4.3m). The E stone is rectangular (dims. 1.1m x 0.35m; H 0.95m) and is aligned E-W. The central stone is rectangular (dims. 0.95m x 0.5m; H 0.8m) and aligned E-W, while the W stone is triangular in shape (dims. 0.95m x 0.4m: H 0.6m) and aligned E-W. The spaces between the stones from the E are 0.7m and 0.5m. A fourth stone lies prone (dims. 0.4-0.8m x 0.5-0.6m) at the W end. The stone row had been removed by January 2012.
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.
