The National Monuments Service's description
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS-6 inch map where it is described as a standing stone, and it is situated on a gentle SW-facing slope. It was described in 1940 as having a rectangular cross-section (dims c. 0.65m x c. 0.6m; H 1.4-1.6m) (OSFM). It does not survive.
The above description is derived from the '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.
