The National Monuments Service's description

On a slight terrace of a severe NE-facing slope which runs down to the River Suir. An upright stone of red sandstone with quartz inclusions. The standing stone (H 1.33m) is polygonal in plan (N face Wth 0.55m; E face Wth 0.38m; S face Wth 0.38m; W face 0.54m) and narrows somewhat as it rises to form a roughly triangular shape (S face Wth 0.59m; N-S T 0.4m). The SE angle has split 0.36m above ground level to form a fifth face.
