The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. There are good views in all directions. A ring-barrow (TS045-010----) lies c. 550m to the SSE. The stone is incorporated in the S face of a townland boundary running NW-SE. A limestone triangular-shaped stone (1.25m x 0.13m; H 2.1m) orientated N-S. The broad faces of the standing stone taper on both sides to an apex with traces of natural hollows on the surface which may be the result of natural erosion.
