This is just a possible stone row, but it is made more probable by two factors:

1. Its alignment is respected by a nearby boundary that runs diagonally down the side of the hill.


2. It stands at the feet of Finn McCool And His Wife (County Wicklow)

The latter could mean that neither are genuine or, more interestingly, that both of them are genuine. Whether the hill-figures are the real McCoy or not, these 4 stones could have been placed here to mark it as a natural phenomenon.

Ther largest stone is very rough and perhaps 1.4m tall. The other are all fallen or leaning and covered by the grass and heather, so it's difficult to measure them properly.
