The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a SE-facing slope in a valley at the E side of Hungry Hill. This monument constitutes the site of a possible standing stone. The stone was recorded in this location in 1996 and described as leaning to the NW and orientated NE-SW. In the course of field clearance work, the stone was moved to its present location (CO116-051----), c. 110m to the NW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
