In rough hill grazing, on a terrace at the head of a valley sloping down to the NE, between Doughill Mountain to the NW and Douce Mountain to the SE. Two stones, aligned NNE-SSW, stand 0.85m apart and measure 2.5m in overall length. The NNE stone (1.5m x 0.9m; H 1.35m) is roughly rectangular in plan and section. The SSW stone (1.3m x 0.75m; H 1.4m) is irregular in plan and section and leans slightly to the SE. There is a hut site (CO092-066002-) c. 180m to the SW and a second standing stone-pair (CO092-066001-) is c. 170m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
