The National Monuments Service's description

In hilly low-lying pasture. This narrow, irregularly shaped stone (H 1.25m; Wth 0.55m; T 0.35m) is aligned c. N-S. When visited in 2004 it was covered in briars and brambles (SMR file) but it is now clear of scrub. According to the landowner, the townland name may be derived from this standing stone.
