The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing, slightly below the crest of a ridge on a gradual S-facing slope. A sandstone upright stone (H 1.3m; 0.4m x 0.23m), leaning slightly to the E. According to Macalister (1907, 160; 1945, 130, no. 134), the inscription is worn but at least partially legible and reads ASsiCONa (lower case letters uncertain). (Power et al. 1997, no. 7966)
