The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a clearing in a coniferous forest on a broad plateau on the E side of Kilcalf Mountain. Marked as a possible megalithic structure on a 1716 Bateman map (NLI, MSS 6148-9). Two stones (L 2.85m and 3.3m) are now lying prone, side by side. It may be the structure described as a 'cistvaen' known as Leaca-na-tSusa (Power 1909, 80).
