Situated on the summit of a low shelf. Two stones placed 2.5m apart form a rough NW-SE alignment and are incorporated into a field wall. The E stone is aligned NNW-SSE and has a rectangular cross-section (dims. 1.15m x 0.25m; H 2.85m) narrowing towards the top. The W stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.4m; H 1.5m) also narrows towards the top.
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.
