By the roadside on a hilltop in gently undulating mixed pasture and tillage. A well-dressed limestone pillar with a rectangular section (dims. H c. 1.3m; L 0.25m; Wth 0.2m) has been white-washed. Hammer-dressing is visible on the top and the corners, while the faces are smooth. There is no visible inscription, but according to local tradition the stone is associated with St Patrick.
