The National Monuments Service's description
Monument identified and described by Schot (2016) as following; 'A recumbent stone pillar, possibly a collapsed standing stone, lies on the SW slope of Uisneach, c.80m N of the Cat Stone (WM024-061----). It consists of a roughly rectangular limestone slab, with a NW/SE long axis, and measures 1.88m in length by 0.77m wide and c.0.45m in maximum thickness. The stone is located on the line of a former field boundary, which is marked on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map but was removed prior to the compilation of the 1914 map'.
