Situated on a gentle NW-facing slope, off the crest of a hill, in undulating hilly terrain. A ringfort (TN017-021) lies c.100m to the W. A stone, rectangular in plan (H 1.37m; dims. 0.9m x 0.5m) aligned N-S with the apex rising to the S. The E face has been split. A hollow area around the stone has been caused by cattle trampling. Grass tufts at base but no evidence of packing-stones. A small rounded sandstone boulder (dims. 0.24m x 0.15m) lies on the relatively flat surface of the standing stone.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
