The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as a 'Standing Stone', it is situated on a rise towards the bottom of the NW-facing slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau and at the E edge of the Bonet river valley. It is described as a stone with a rectangular cross-section "54 inches by 14 inches, 26 inches high (dims c. 1.5m x 0.3m; H c. 0.75m)" and a rounded crest (OSFM). There is no other information and it is not now visible at ground level. The enclosure (LE011-097001-) is c. 10m to the N.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
