These Bronze Age monuments, now collapsed and resting 2.8 metres apart, once stood as sentinels on this NNW-SSE ridge surrounded by bogland. The eastern stone, irregularly shaped and measuring nearly 4 metres in length, varies considerably in width from 0.3 to 1.35 metres, whilst its western companion stretches 2 metres long with a width ranging from 0.77 to 1.07 metres.

The stones occupy a strategic position at the north-northwest end of the ridge, where fairly good pasture land meets the rougher, bog-covered grazing terrain that encircles the site to the north, east, and west. This elevated location would have made the standing stones visible for considerable distances when they were upright, serving whatever ritual, territorial, or astronomical purpose their builders intended thousands of years ago.

Local historian Fagan documented an intriguing detail about the site in the 19th century; a large cairn once stood near these fallen giants, though it had already been dismantled and removed by 1847. This lost cairn adds another layer to the site’s archaeological significance, suggesting this ridge may have been a focal point for prehistoric ritual activity. Today, whilst the stones no longer stand proud against the Donegal sky, their substantial remains continue to mark this ancient place of significance in the Irish landscape.
