What is recorded here

Roughly 7m E of the Giant's Rock there is a large slab (max. dim. 4m) which is substantially covered by a layer of heather-grown peat. The slab seems to lean on two stones, both of which appear to be almost wholly buried. It is not be possible to form any reliable opinion as to whether this is natural or artificial in origin.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL020-261
