The National Monuments Service's description
In rough gorse and heather-covered hill pasture, on a N-facing slope to the E of Barnacleve. This standing stone (1.65m x 0.45m; H 1.5m) is roughly rectangular in plan and is orientated ENE-WSW. The WSW side slopes gradually inward as it rises to a flat top that slopes gently to the WSW. Stones protrude from the bog immediately to the E of the stone.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
