The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a N-facing slope within Ballinamore, it was on the street outside McAllister's Hotel until it was moved to a back-garden. It is marked only on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and described as a stone '5 feet 8 inches high' (H c. 1.8m) and with a girth or circumference of '10 feet 6 inches' (c. 3.2m ) (OSFM).
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.
