What is recorded here
Situated on an E-facing slope. An orthostat 1.2m high and aligned NE-SW, stands here. Another stone, probably but not certainly in situ, leans against its more southerly face. There are traces of a mound around the stones. The two stones might be the remnants of a megalithic tomb. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 99, No.11)
