Situated on a N-facing slope. This is an upright stone (dims of base 0.85m x 0.5m; H 1m) oriented NE-SW and with a bluntly pointed top (H 1m).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
