The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise on a gentle S-facing slope. Described as an upright stone (dims c. 0.75m x c. 0.3m; H c. 3m) known as 'Clogh-na-Stuakeen' or the stone of the little hill and as 'Clogh-Cam' or the crooked stone (D'Alton 1845, 86), but D'Alton was confusing the latter name with that of a stone at Knocknacorha (RO010-049----) c. 4.5km to the E. The stone at Tullyboy is no longer visible. Moylurg castle (RO010-010001-) is c. 140m to the W. Archaeological testing (06E1051) NW of the monument during 2006 produced no related material (Morahan 2010).
