Located on a prominent hillock on a NE-SW running ridge, this standing stone (H 0.8m; c 0.55m x 0.24m) is aligned N-S and is embedded in a stony base. It is known locally as the ‘Lady Stone’ or the ‘Earl’s Chair’ and it is believed that Nora Novar, who reputedly built the townland boundary wall, is buried here. The standing stone was identified by Dr F. Beglane (pers. comm. November 2014). Ringforts (GA105-081---- and GA105-080----) are visible c. 135m to the NNW and c. 455m to the NNE respectively, and all the monuments lie within the N half of a medieval deerpark (GA105-236----). (Beglane 2014, 315)
