The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and located in woodland established before 1839 (OS 6-inch map) on a steep N-facing slope down from the site of Greenmount House and overlooking the NE-SW River Slaney which is c. 300m to the N. It is on the S side of the more northerly of two E-W lanes. This is a schist stone aligned E-W (dims. 0.5m x 0.4m; H 1.1m). It is associated with the enclosures in the wood, and may be part of an ornamental landscape.
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.
