At the E end of a low, narrow pasture ridge overlooking the narrow flood-plain of the Slate River which flows SW c. 100m to the N, and overlooked by the embankment of the Grand Canal (Athy Branch) c. 30m to the S. A thin granite stone with a square base (dims. L 0.25m; Wth 0.25m) tapers gently to a semi-rounded top (H 1.4m). The N and S faces are worked smooth while the E and W faces are rough. Smoothing on the SW and SE angles is caused by scratching livestock, which have worn a shallow circular depression in the ground surface around the bass of the stone (diam. 2.5m; D 0.4m). The stone has been erected on a low, oval, grass-covered mound (diams. 20m E-W; 12m N-S; H 0.2-0.7m).
