The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a shelf in a landscape sloping down gently to the W, with an old quarry to the N and lower ground to the W. A stone described as a ‘Pillar Stone’ in gothic lettering is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The field has been reclaimed and no standing stone is visible.
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.
