At 1.45 metres tall and roughly a metre wide by 0.6 metres thick, it is not a towering monument, but standing stones were rarely about scale. These upright slabs, erected across Ireland during the Bronze Age and possibly earlier, were placed deliberately in the landscape for purposes that remain genuinely uncertain, whether as territorial markers, ritual focal points, or commemorations of the dead. That this one now finds itself within a garden rather than an open field is a reminder of how thoroughly the Irish countryside has been reorganised around such stones over the millennia.

The stone was recorded by Walsh in 1985 and subsequently catalogued in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Beyond its dimensions and its lean, the record is spare, which is not unusual for standing stones in this part of Munster. Cork contains hundreds of them, and many survive in similarly quiet, domesticated settings, neither fenced off nor formally presented, simply persisting in the corners of fields and gardens as they have for thousands of years.
