What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. This slab-like standing stone (1.25m x 0.22m; H 1.35m) is roughly rectangular in plan and section and is orientated E-W. It leans slightly to the S. A large prostrate slab (0.7m x 0.1m; L 0.8m) lying at the base appears to partly support the standing stone. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
