This lovely little stone pair is not marked on the OS map. It is easily visible from the road that runs past its field. The stones are located on a small promontory that extends to the southwest. They are located so that the rising ground to the south impedes views in that direction. This forces the observer to look east towards the complexes at Coumeraglinmountain and to Seefin Mountain above them.

The stones are just 1m high. One of them has a round top, while the other has a pointed top. The alignment points to a spot somewhere on the southern slopes of Crohaun Mountain.
