The National Monuments Service's description
A small stump of stone is said to be the remains of a standing stone not marked on the OS 6-inch maps. It is believed to have been broken c. 1977. It is located in an elevated position in good land with wide views.

Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
