What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope of Ballyknock Hill, in improved pasture. There are good views from E-NW. An upright limestone stone (0.48m x 0.41; H 1.52m), rectangular in plan and orientated ENE-WSW. It leans to the NNE. There is one large packing stone and others may be obscured by grass tufts. There is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion. O'Brien (2006, 16-17) describes a number of stones protruding from the ground immediately N of the standing stone as possible packing stones or a possible cist (0.4m x 0.5m) formed by two short side stones and lone long stone, with the base of the standing stone forming the back.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS061-154
