On a flat tract of ground, on the slopes below the S end of the Bricklieve Mountains with an outlook to the SE across Lough Key. A lone orthostat (L 1.2m; T 0.2m; H 0.75m), aligned SW-NE, stands at about the centre of an oval mound (L 22.5m NE-SW; max. Wth 16m; max. H 1.5m). Immediately to the S of the surviving orthostat there is a prostrate slab and just beyond this another measuring (max. dims. 1.1m and 2.2m respectively). Some 3m to the WSW of the orthostat three small stones, none more than 0.3m high, form a slightly curved line (L 2m). A fence runs NNW-SSE across the mound near its eastern edge. There is a small pit in the mound at the SE and another at the SW. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 77, no. 122)
