The National Monuments Service's description

On the line of a field boundary, in the NE corner of a field and c. 210m to the NNE of a rath (CO032-022----). This standing stone (1.4m x 1.2m; H 1m) is irregular in plan and section and measures c. 3m in circumference. The stone was removed from its original location (CO032-240----), directly to the N of the rath, to its present location. Its exact original location cannot be established. In its original location, this standing stone was recorded by Bowman (2000, 348) as a 'dallan in Daniel O'Hanlon's. This is 3'3" [0.99m] high by 7'8" [2.3m] in girth.'

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
