The National Monuments Service's description
In open gently undulating pasture, c. 90m SE of a ringfort (KD006-006----). Not recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, but described in 1972 as a limestone boulder (dims. L 1.3m; T 0.5m) lying in the field, but of which there was no visible trace in 1985 (SMR file). Fitzgerald (1903-5, 4) translates the townland name Carton as, ' "Baile an Cairthe" the town of the Pillar Stone' .
