The National Monuments Service's description

Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Stone’ on the boundary between Treanakillew and Largandoon, c. 40m S of the boundary with Co. Sligo. It is located towards the top of a S-facing slope of a ridge extending SW for Truskmore Mountain. There is no evidence of a stone that might have been used by the Ordinance Survey as a boundary marker.
