Prominently sited on a hillock which forms the highest point in the surrounding undulating landscape, and provides panoramic views, framed by the Ox Mountains at E-S, with Nephin and the Nephin Beg Range to SW-W. The hill, which may have been modified to form an enclosure (MA031-011001-), is defined by a steep slope on the W side, with a more gradual fall of ground to E. It overlooks a flat expanse of wettish pasture to W.
Not indicated on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but shown as ‘Standing stone’ on the 1922 edition. Upright stone slab (H 1.2; Wth 0.54m; 0.3m), rectangular in shape and in cross-section, with long axis oriented NNW-SSE. The top of the stone slopes down from N to S. The W face is slightly concave towards its base, and the E face is slightly convex. The stone now leans to E. A small boulder is wedged against base on N side.
A possible mound (MA031-010----), now levelled, is located c. 95m to SW.
