The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a rath (MA022-022001-).
Upright slab (0.67m; 0.32m; H 1.95m) with long axis oriented NNW–SSE. The stone leans slightly to W. It narrows slightly both in width and thickness towards the top, and when viewing the broad face, the top of the stone slopes up obliquely to a point.
A slight depression encircles the base of the stone caused by cattle using the stone as a rubbing post. A few small stones protrude from this depression.
