What is recorded here

On a slight slope in farmland. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1887 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. An upright stone (H 1m), aligned approximately E-W, stands 2.5m E of two prostrate slabs, the larger almost 2m in maximum dimension. Although not included by de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 89) in their main list these three stones might be the last vestiges of a megalithic tomb.
