The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a SE-facing slope, just below the top of the ridge. Knocknarae is visible to N, and the Ox Mountains define the skyline to S. A large upright boulder (H 1.8m; Wth c. 1.2m; T. c. 0.8m) tapering at top to give a roughly triangular shape. Roughly in the middle of the S face is a small circular hole (diam. 0.04m; D 0.02m) which appears to be a natural feature. According to local information this stone was one of a pair. A second standing stone was removed and buried during field clearance works. There is a rath (SL019-139) located c. 80m to NW.
