The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a scrub-covered, SW-facing slope, on top of a S-facing cliff which overlooks the River Suir and Waterford City. Two conglomerate stones, placed 20m apart, form an alignment oriented ENE-WSW. The W stone has a diamond-shaped cross-section (dims. 0.6m x 0.35m; H 1.2m) and is oriented E-W. The E stone has a square cross-section (dims. 0.6m x 0.45m; H 1.45m). A mound (WA009-017003-) is 30m to W. Although recorded in 1998, it was not present in 2010.
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.
