The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on gently sloping pasture with Ben Bulben on the skyline to SE. Standing stone (L 0.75m x 0.35m; H 0.95m) aligned NW - SE. Although it is not marked on any OS map there is every reason to consider that this is a genuine antiquity rather than a modern scratching post set up for cattle.
