Situated on top of high ground in an upland area with a ringfort (TN020-060) to the E. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930 vol. 3, 114) refer to the stone as the 'Long Stone'. A recumbent sandstone slab (L 1.82m; dims. 0.48m x 0.48m) orientated on a NW-SE axis with the top of the stone sloped in typical standing stone fashion. According to the local farmer the stone was once erect.
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.
