Located in the col at the summit of Maum Pass in the Monavullagh Mountains. A conglomerate stone (dims. 0.6m x 0.4m; H 1.95m) is oriented NNE-SSW.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the stone may be associated with St. Patrick, given its traditional name Staca Pádraig Mhóir ("Big Patrick's Stake"), suggesting a possible ecclesiastical or commemorative function. Such stones often marked holy sites, waystations, or had a role in early Christian pilgrimage routes.
