The National Monuments Service's description
Incorporated into a field fence, located on top of a ridge, with extensive views including Nephin Mountain to NW and Croagh Patrick to W. There is a rath (MA090-028001-) c. 40m to N, and a fulacht fia (MA090-128----) c. 200m to NE.
An upright limestone block (H c. 2.3m; 1.28m NE–SW; 0.45m NW–SE, at base) which tapers in width towards the top and leans towards the NE. A natural perforation (c. 0.2m x c. 0.35m) pierces the base of the stone.
