In pasture, on a gentle NNW-facing slope, just below crown of hill. Upright stone (dims. 1.35m NE-SW; 0.9m NW-SE; H 1.75m) of limestone; long-axis NE-SW. The SE-elevation is rectangular in shape and has a smoother surface in contrast with the other elevations. The SW-elevation has four possible cup-marks and a similar feature on the top of the stone. Natural striations, weathering marks and lichens on all elevations. The Gap of Dunloe & MacGillycuddy’s Reeks are to SW and The Paps are to S.
