In a water meadow, below an earlier shoreline of Lough Gara. A rough stone platform (2m N-W; 2.8m E-W; H 0.39m), consisting of seven large stones (diam. c. 0.6m) contrasting with the otherwise linear earlier shoreline. On the E portion is a collection of smaller stones, overgrown with grass and moss.
