Situated at the base of the N slope of a small hillock which in turn is on the SE-facing slope of a ridge in an upland area. Site indicated on 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as 'Three Stones'. Not depicted on subsequent 2nd (1902) ed. A row of four stones, aligned NE-SW, with a possible fifth stone (H 1.3m; Wth 0.45m; T 0.2m) lying prostate near a gap in the row; overall length 7.63m. These limestone orthostats are set in a slight hollow with little evidence of packing-stones, though there are tufts of grass around the bases. The largest standing stone (H 1.78m; 1.56m x 0.4m), at SW end, has a hole in the SE face into which hands were dipped as a cure for warts. From NE to SW the remaining three stones measure: (1) H 1.05m; 0.76m x c.0.3m (2) H 1.56m; 1.47m x 0.28m (3) H 0.95m; W 0.8m x 0.53m. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
