What is recorded here

In rough gorse and heather-covered grazing on the S-facing slopes of an E-W ridge overlooking the valley of the Borlin River. Two contiguous stone slabs, and a single parallel stone slab (H 0.85m; 1.75m x 0.2m) stand 0.4m apart. All slabs lean slightly outwards and decrease in height from NNW to SSE. A fragment of a slab is resting on the ground at N and may have been broken from one of the larger slabs. Badgers have disturbed the ground beneath the stones. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
