2 metres from a pasture field in County Limerick is easy to walk past without a second thought. But the proportions are oddly deliberate: rectangular in plan, thin at only 0.14 metres deep, and oriented along a precise north-south axis. Standing stones, which are single upright stones set into the ground during prehistory, are scattered across Ireland in their thousands, yet most taper or round off at the top. This one is cut clean across, giving it an almost architectural quality that feels at odds with its farmland setting.

The stone sits on rising ground south of a disused farm trackway that once led from Ballinlyna House, a route still traceable on the Cassini edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the late nineteenth-century series that recorded the Irish landscape in considerable detail before much of it changed beyond recognition. The record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details provided by James and Billy O'Brien, and uploaded to the national monuments database in September 2021. No date of erection is known, as is typical for these monuments, which were raised across a broad prehistoric span and rarely leave documentary evidence. What the record does note is the quality of the views from this spot: the Ballyhoura Hills lie roughly five kilometres to the south-west, and Castle Hill, with its prominent Oliver's Folly, is clearly visible about 1.6 kilometres to the south-south-west. Oliver's Folly is a tower structure and a local landmark in its own right, listed separately in the monuments record. Whether the placement of the standing stone was ever intended to relate to that high ground is not something the record speculates on, but the sightlines are worth noting.

The stone is set in pasture, so access will depend on the landowner, and visitors should seek permission before crossing any field boundaries. The disused trackway from Ballinlyna House offers a rough orientation point for locating it. Clear weather makes a visit more rewarding simply because the views that seem to have mattered to whoever placed the stone here are then fully apparent, the Ballyhoura ridge drawn out along the horizon to the south-west.
