Standing in the centre of a field in two side-by-side metal-fenced areas are two ogham stones. Sharing one of the enclosures are two rough slabs. A third rough slab stands next to the other enclosured area.

Both ogham stones are in good condition, with many of the letters still well-defined. They are said to read COLLABOT MUCOI LUGA MAQI LOBACCONA and MEDUSI MUCOI LUGA (Weir).

These inscriptions have caused particular interest due to the mention of the name Luga, which could refer to the god Lugh making the stones pagan.
