The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in modern coniferous plantation on an ENE-facing slope of poorly drained land in an upland region with good views from NW-N-E-SW. A standing stone (H 1.161m; 0.7m x 0.47m) which is rectangular in plan and shape with its long axis orientated NW-SE and tapering towards the top. Two prostrate slabs immediately to the NE may have been associated with the standing stone and may have been knocked down during tree planting.
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.
