The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'Pillar Stone', and situated on a S-facing slope. A limestone slab (dims 0.4m x 0.3m; L 2.3m), which was once upright at this point is now lying prone on the outer bank of rath (RO022-107001-) at SE.
