The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a standing stone only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated just off the top of the NW-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. A stone with quartz lenses and a triangular cross-section (dims 0.75m x 0.3m; H 1.2m) is roughly oriented E-W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
