It measures 1.75 metres by 0.75 metres at its base, which gives it a broad, almost slab-like presence rather than the tapering finger-shape associated with many prehistoric standing stones. What makes its situation quietly notable is its proximity to a ringfort roughly 75 metres to the south-west. A ringfort is a circular enclosed settlement, typically of early medieval date, defined by one or more earthen or stone banks, and they are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland. The fact that the stone sits in such close relation to one raises a question that cannot be answered from the visible evidence alone: whether the two monuments are genuinely connected, or whether the association is a matter of coincidence and the stone belongs to an altogether earlier phase of activity on the same land.
