What is recorded here

In pasture, on elevated ground with extensive views to NE, and good views to SW, restricted elsewhere by undulating terrain. There is a ring barrow (MA092-006) 200m to SW, a rath (MA092-008) 140m to SE, and a court tomb (MA081-033) and cist (MA081-033001) 290m to NE. Not shown on the 1838 and 1917 OS 6-inch maps. The remains consist of a setting of three upright stones. Two parallel side stones, on a roughly ENE-WSW axis, are set 1.4m apart; the N stone is more deeply sunk in the ground and leans to N. A little to E of these two stones, is a perpendicular upright, possible an end stone, which leans slightly to NE. The interior area is gently raised, stony and grass-covered. Total length c. 3m NE−SW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022
