Within a radius of roughly 90 metres, two other recorded monuments sit in the same stretch of field, suggesting this is not an isolated curiosity but part of a quietly dense prehistoric landscape that the grass has largely swallowed.

The stone itself is rectangular in plan, orientated with its long axis running north to south, and stands 1.35 metres high with a width of 0.45 metres and a depth of 0.3 metres. It has a tapering top, sometimes described as a tapering stop, which is a deliberate shaping of the upper portion rather than simple weathering. Around its base, packing-stones remain visible, the smaller stones wedged in during the original erection to hold the upright stable, a practical detail that has survived intact and gives a small but direct sense of the work involved in placing it. Standing stones of this kind are a common prehistoric monument type across Ireland, though their precise purposes remain debated; they have been associated with burials, boundaries, and ritual landscapes, sometimes in combination. At Duntryleague, an earthwork monument lies 35 metres to the north-west, and a second standing stone sits 90 metres to the south-east, which raises the possibility that the arrangement was intentional rather than coincidental. The record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details supplied by Billy O'Brien and James O'Brien, and uploaded to the national monuments database in April 2022.

The stone sits in flat agricultural pasture, so access depends on the usual courtesies of the Irish countryside: identifying field boundaries, checking for livestock, and not assuming public access where none is signposted. Because the ground is level and the vegetation relatively open, the packing-stones at the base are easier to observe here than they might be at a more overgrown site. It is worth approaching the area with an eye on the wider field rather than fixing immediately on the stone itself, since the earthwork to the north-west, though subtle, becomes more legible once you know to look for it.
