This standing stone, extant in 1966, had been removed by 2001. It is described in the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' as follows:
Situated in low-lying land which slopes gently SE down to the sea. The stone is rhomboidal in plan (max. dims. H 1.6m, 0.4m by 0.3m in section) with the narrower sides orientated NE-SW. All sides taper slightly to the top, which ends in a point. The stone is now used as a scratching post, and may originally have been erected for that purpose.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
