The National Monuments Service's description
This recently discovered standing stone is located on a hillslope in pasture adjacent to Brenanstown House. It is formed of granite (H 1.15m; Wth 0.4m). Two small fragments of cremated bone were found directly in front of this stone when it was excavated in 1993 (Carroll 1994, 13). The stone had been set in a pit (diam. 0.8m) and was supported by smaller packing stones.
