The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on SE-facing slope overlooking mountain valley in upland region with good view of standing stone (TN034-114) directly opposite to SE. The collpased stone (L 1m; dims. 0.65 x 0.20m), composed of limestone, is lying in a slight hollow caused by cattle poaching and was originally aligned N-S; the top of the stone rises to a point in a fashion similar to other standing stones in the region. The size of the stone and its lack of height may suggest that it is not a standing stone, however the tapering top of the stone and its relationship to the visible standing stone (TN034-114) suggest some relationship between the two monuments.
