The National Monuments Service's description
Listed as an 'alignment' in the SMR (1986) and as a possible 'stone alignment' in the RMP (1995). At the summit of a small rock knoll on a steep W-facing slope overlooking a ravine. Two pairs of uprights, c. 5m apart along the line of an outcropping ridge. Of the NW pair, the largest stone (H 2m; Wth 1.30m; T 0.70m), leans to the NW. The pairs form an alignment NW-SE. While the stones appear to have been set upright their function is unknown.
