The National Monuments Service's description
On a knoll overlooking the Ballydonnell Brook (to the W), in rough mountain bogland. Ground rises to the E; to the W is Sorrell Hill, to the S is Mullaghcleevaun, to the N is Seefin. Two granite standing stones, aligned roughly N-S. The northern stone is the larger of the two (dims. H 0.8m high; Wth 0.9m; T 0.4m thick) and is slightly oblong in cross-section). The second, lower stone (dims. H 0.5m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.38m) stands 3.65m to the S and is rectangular in cross section. The long axis of each stone reflects the long axis of the alignment of the pair, which is largely covered in peat. (pers. comm. C. Corlett)
