The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage in a gently undulating field, surrounded by rolling countryside to the N, E and S. This standing stone (0.7m x 0.35m; H 1.15m) is roughly rectangular in section and is orientated ENE-WSW. The stone had a flat top which slopes slightly down to the SSE. Stones are scattered around the base of the standing stone, though no packing-stones were noted. Another standing stone (CO060-205----) is visible in an adjacent field, c. 257m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
