The National Monuments Service's description
To S of centre in ‘Killeen Cormac’ burial ground (KD032-044----). First recorded by Fitzgerald (1899-1902(f), 161 (B)). A heavily lichen-covered stone, square at the base but tapering to a rectangular top (H 1.4m; L at base 0.47m E-W; Wth 0.46m N-S; L at top 0.3m E-W; Wth 0.2m). There is a shallow three-sided square depression (open to W) on the top of the stone (L 0.1m; Wth 0.1m; D 3cm), and there is a raised semi-circular area (diam. 0.3m) below the top of the E face, which looks as if carved in relief.
