The OS Letters (1839) describe, 'In the Townland of Knockaliagain, i.e., the Hill of the Standing Stone, is a large rock reclining against a wall or ditch, measuring seven and a half feet [2.27m] in height over ground, two feet ten inches [0.87m] in breadth at bottom, one and a half feet [0.45m] at top and one foot [0.3m] in thickness' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 267 (90)). O'Kelly (1969, 179) describes it as, 'The liagán, an uncarved and uninscribed land-stone column'.
