This ancient standing stone, though now leaning considerably from its original position, once stood approximately 1.1 metres tall and 0.75 metres wide. It appears to be one of a pair that were first documented in 1946 by Davies, who noted two stones positioned 36 feet apart and aligned almost perfectly along an east-west axis.

The second stone of this prehistoric pair may well be the loose stone that currently lies nearby, though centuries of Irish weather and the shifting earth have displaced it from its original position. These standing stones, erected during Ireland's Bronze Age, would have served as important markers in the landscape; whether for ceremonial purposes, territorial boundaries, or astronomical observations remains a matter of scholarly debate.

The site's documentation comes from the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled in 1983 by Brian Lacey and his team of archaeologists. This survey catalogued field antiquities throughout the county, spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, providing invaluable records of monuments like these standing stones that form part of Ireland's rich prehistoric heritage.
