The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a field due S of Kiltalown House. This standing stone (Wth 0.48m; H 1.05m) is a squat, irregularly shaped block of granite with some quartz banding. It has been set up on its broad end, narrowing towards the top and is orientated roughly N-S towards Tallaght Hill. In October 1996 the stone was knocked over. It became apparent that it had been sitting on its flat base with no evidence for a socket (Swan 1998, 57).
