The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low N-S ridge about 100m from the W shore of Lough Allen. It is depicted on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering on both as a 'Standing Stone'. This is a sandstone upright with a subrectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.67m x 0.6m; H 1.1m) which tapers towards the top (dims 0.4m E-W; 0.3m N-S) but the stone has no discernible orientation.
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.
