The National Monuments Service's description

Indicated on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1954) ed. 6-inch OS map as 'Coirthe Tlachtgha' in the N portion of a graveyard (TS067-011006-) associated with the medieval church of Corroge (TS067-067011004-). In Dinneen's dictionary (1927) 'Coirthe' means a stone, particularly a memorial stone and 'Tlachtgha' means 'a seat of early rights'. In the 1970s the graveyard was incorporated into the adjacent quarry and at that time the standing stone was broken and pushed into the SE edge of the graveyard.
