Description
In rough hill pasture, on a W-facing slope overlooking Ballydonegan Bay to the NW. According to local information, two upright stones stood in a small enclosed area in the NE corner of this field. The stones fell during the course of digging in this area. Based on the description provided locally, these stones may have formed a standing stone pair. The area is now largely obscured by gorse and there are traces of rabbit burrowing on the surface. There is no visible trace of these stones.
