First recorded on http://www.prehistoricwaterford.com/. Situated on a SE-facing slope at the foothills of the Monavullagh Mountains. An Old Red Sandstone conglomerate with a rectangular cross-section (dims. 1m x 0.5m; H 1.2m) is aligned NE-SW. It has a triangular top (dims. 0.5m NW-SE; 0.3m NE-SW at the SE side) and a triangular profile when viewed from the SE and NW, but it may have been damaged in antiquity.
