The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a small NE-SW ridge. A pair of quartz bearing granite standing stones are placed 4.2m apart in a line running NNE SSW. The N stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.45m; H 1m) is roughly aligned NNE-SSW and flat-topped while the S stone has a rectangular cross-section (dims. 0.55 0.7m x 0.7m; H 1.35m) at the base but narrows to a point on a N-S ridge.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
