In pasture, at end of NE-facing slope. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as four standing stones, immediately E of NE corner of rectangular enclosure (CO052-03902-). Macalister (1945, 63, no. 59) claims, probably wrongly, that one of stones is an ogham stone - see (CO052-03901-). Removed; no visible surface trace. Windele (in Macalister 1943, 63) described four stones, two of which were ogham inscribed (CO052-03901-; CO052-053---), within the rectangular enclosure; destroyed in the mid-nineteenth century. Possibly the same stones. (deValera and O Nualláin 1982, 44)
