The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of the W-facing slope of a shelf in the W foothills of the ENE-WSW Slieve Na Calliagh ridge. An upright stone with an irregularly rectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.6m ENE-WSW; 0.3m NNW-SSE; H 1.7m) has a slightly narrower waist at the centre and a roughly rounded top.
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.
