The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular shaped carved stone (max. Wth 0.58m; H 0.7m; T 0.24m) aligned NE-SW and set into the ground on the E-side of a NNE-SSW land and c. 10m from the border with Co. Louth. It has a socket at the top of it. The letters C-C-A-F-C-M are carved on the upper part and the date 1624 engraved below. It appears to be constructed of two parts, the carvings are on a relatively smooth surfaced stone and this is set on a coarse base.
