The National Monuments Service's description
'This stone is situated on top of a small rounded hill, which offers splendid views on all sides. The land is used for rich pasture and the hill on which this stone occurs appears to be of limestone. This stone stands 1.31m in height and measures 0.26m by 0.22m at base. It is roughly rectangular in plan, and also in elevation, tapering to a rough point. The stone is aligned NE/SW.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
