The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on fairly level ground in pasture with a slight slope down to the E; the site overlooks a nearby ringfort (TN023-042) to the W. A standing stone (H 1.32m; dims. 0.75m x 0.56m) aligned NW-SE, composed of sandstone with large quartz pebble inclusions. The NE face is partially split and kicks out at the base. The stone rises to its apex at NW and is roughly rectangular in plan.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
