What is recorded here

In pasture, prominently sited on top of a ridge, overlooking a broad valley to E, and affording extensive views to W where Croagh Patrick is clearly visible on the far horizon. Not indicated on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. Single capstone, tilted to E, resting on an upright orthostat/side stone (long axis E–W), to S of which is a second stone, on a NNE–SSW axis, possibly a displaced side stone or end stone. The SE corner of the capstone tips downwards and appears to rest on a number of small stones protruding from the ground. The tomb is located in a slight dip or depression in the ground surface.
