Near the N edge of a roughly E-W running ridge, c. 60m S of the River Suir which runs parallel to the ridge, in pasture. There is a field boundary immediately E of the standing stone with a factory complex on the other side to the E. A sandstone standing stone (max. 0.38m x 0.26m; H 1.23m) rectangular in plan and orientated NNE-SSW. The stone tapers to a point. It is broadest in the middle and narrows to a rectangular base (0.29m x 0.23m). The surface is spawled, though both broad faces are fairly flat. There are several large fractures and evidence of where stone has fractured off at the SW and NW angles, towards the base. There is also a bad crack 0.5m above ground level on the S face, the W end of which rises up through the stone. There are some grass clumps around the base of the stone but no evidence of any packing stones.
