Located on a low N-S ridge about 100m from the W shore of Lough Allen. It is depicted on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering on both as a 'Standing Stone'. This is a sandstone upright with a subrectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.67m x 0.6m; H 1.1m) which tapers towards the top (dims 0.4m E-W; 0.3m N-S) but the stone has no discernible orientation.
