The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a shelf towards the bottom of a W-facing slope on the E shore of Lough Rinn. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a sandstone upright (H 1.3m) with a rounded crest and a rectangular cross-section (dims 0.7 x 0.3m) at the base which is aligned N-S. Field stones are accumulated around its base, and briars have grown up around it.
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.
