The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a broad hill, standing just inside a gateway. A conglomerate stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims. 0.9m x 0.5m; H 2.5m) and a pointed top. It is oriented NNW-SSE, with an irregular profile at N caused by ancient damage. An ogham inscription was added to the SW edge of stone, and has been read by Macalister (1945, 292, no. 303) as CATABAR MOCO VIRICORB. A souterrain (WA003-077----) was discovered nearby. (Moore 1999, no. 1483)
