The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating meadowland. According to Redington (1916a, 58-9), a stone was pointed out to her ‘In Caherapheepa townland, 200 yds. [c. 183m] N. from Caherbeg’ (see GA103-054----). It was ‘roughly pointed, 5 ft. high by 3 ft. broad [H 1.5m; Wth 0.9m]’ and appeared ‘to have been artificially erected in its present position’. The distance noted from the cashel would place the standing stone in Fahymactibbot townland. This area was checked out but no visible surface trace of the stone was noted. Not precisely located.
