The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a local greenstone with a rectangular cross-section and a bluntly pointed top (dims. 0.5m x 0.2m; H 1.65m) is oriented N-S. It may date to the 20th century as it is not mentioned in relation to the discovery of a stone axe in the same field, (Power 1911).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
