Situated on an E-facing slope. An orthostat 1.2m high and aligned NE-SW, stands here. Another stone, probably but not certainly in situ, leans against its more southerly face. There are traces of a mound around the stones. The two stones might be the remnants of a megalithic tomb. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 99, No.11) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
