| Situated on the NW-facing slope of Tountinna Hill in the Arra Mountains overlooking Lough Derg to the NW. The scattered and confused remains of several small orthostats protruding from the surface with a single large orthostat measuring 1.2m in height, 0.57 in width,0.45m in depth in the NE sector and a row of low orthostats in the S sector. The arrangement of these orthostats possibly defines a rectangular - shaped area 15m SW-NE and 23m SE-NW. They are marked on th OS maps and known locally as 'The Graves of the Leinstermen' |
