What is recorded here

Two massive stones lean together on a gentle slope above the Lee River, one fallen across the other like a giant collapsing in sleep. The erect stone tilts southward, pressing against its partner rather than standing proud, while a third boulder waits nearby as if dismissed from the ceremony. This is not a ruined chamber but a pairwise encounter, marked by bruised edges and patient gravity.

In pasture, on shoulder of gentle slope on S side of Lee River valley. One stone has fallen and rests against erect stone; it measures 5.3m by 1.25m and is 1.2m T. Erect stone leans markedly to S; it is 0.95m L, 0.8m T and, if erect, 3.3m. Large boulder (1.3m by 1m) lies 1.7m N of erect stone.
