The National Monuments Service's description
Site of standing stone described by Cuppage (1986, 49, no. 102) as follows; 'This stone [KE045-102----] stands on the crest of a low hill located centrally in the Emlagh river valley, immediately N of the gap in the coastal mountain ridge through which the river flows towards Castlemaine Harbour. It is now incorporated into an E-W field wall which obscures the lower portion of its N face. On the 2nd edition of the OS map a standing stone is also shown untitled c. 50m to WNW; it does not survive'.
