The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a terrace on a N-facing slope in the N foothills of Slieve na Calliagh ridge. This is a limestone upright with a roughly rectangular cross-section (dims 0.45m x 0.34m). It is generally aligned E-W with the crest sloping down to the E (H 1.5m). A second stone is lying prone beside it.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
