The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just below the crest of a hill on ground sloping very gradually to the S, in meadow. Limestone standing stone orientated on a NE-SW axis, roughly rectangular in plan (H 0.83m at apex; max. dims. 1m x 0.44m) with top sloping up to SW. The stone is spalling to some degree, particularly on the SE face. There is a grassy hummock around the base of the standing stone but no obvious packing-stones.
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.
