What is recorded here
Located on a slight ESE-facing slope that is covered in a thin layer of peat, the stones are clearly visible from a distance from many directions. Two granite stones 2.6m apart are aligned E-W. The E stone (dims 0.72m x 0.25m; max. H 0.75m) has a flat top but the W stone (dims 0.78m x 0.15m; max. H 0.6m) is more irregular in shape. They were first reported by Michael Monahan.

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the pair may have functioned as a boundary marker or astronomical alignment. No specific folklore is recorded, but such paired stones often held ritual or ceremonial significance.
