The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a break in a SE-facing slope, just below the crest of a hill and commanding extensive views across the valley to Cork City. This standing stone (0.7m x 0.2m; H 1.65m) leans slightly to the N and is orientated N-S. There ground around the base of the stone is largely denuded and eroded by cattle. The top of a small slab (0.3m x 0.03m; H 0.08m) protrudes above the ground c. 0.8m to the W of the S end of the standing stone.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
