It lies prostrate on the southern edge of a domestic plot beside the road, roughly 1.4 metres long and about 1.1 metres across at its widest, overlooking the broad water of Berehaven Harbour. It is not where it started out.

According to local tradition, the stone originally stood upright some 30 metres to the north-east of its current position. Standing stones are among the more enigmatic monuments in the Irish archaeological record; they date most commonly to the Bronze Age, though their precise purposes, whether territorial, funerary, or ceremonial, remain a matter of debate. What is clear in this case is that the stone was moved at some point, and the original spot where it once stood is no longer precisely known. The stone has been recorded with a separate reference for its presumed original location, a quiet acknowledgement that the same object now has two addresses, one certain and one lost.

The stone sits on a north-east-facing slope, which means the harbour views from its current resting place are considerable, even if those views were never part of its original setting. Whether it was moved deliberately, shifted during agricultural clearance, or simply fell and was dragged aside, the record does not say. It remains where it ended up, horizontal in a garden, its prehistory intact even if its original orientation is not.
