One of two standing stones (H 1.37m), originally located approximately 15m N of Carrig cairn (WI005-084----), removed by the landowner some years ago. The standing stone marked a coarse urn pit burial. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
