At first glance it might read as just another field stone, but its geometry is quietly peculiar. Viewed from the north or south, the slab appears roughly rectangular and tapers slightly towards the top, which is what you might expect of a standing stone. Viewed from the east or west, however, the profile changes entirely: the faces bulge outward towards the centre and then rise to a point at the top, giving the whole thing a lenticular, almost leaf-like cross-section. There is also a small indentation near the eastern end of the top surface, though this appears to be a natural feature of the limestone rather than anything worked by human hand.

Standing stones, as a category, are among the most frustratingly underdated monuments in the Irish landscape. They were erected across a broad span of prehistory, most commonly associated with the Bronze Age, and their purposes remain genuinely uncertain. Some may have marked boundaries, trackways, or burial sites; others may have had astronomical or ritual functions. This particular example sits on a south-facing slope, and its long axis runs east to west, an orientation that occasionally carries significance in prehistoric monument studies, though without excavation or associated finds it would be rash to read too much into it. The stone measures approximately 1.47 metres in height, 0.6 metres in width, and 0.5 metres in thickness. It was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the national record in August 2011.

The stone sits in agricultural pasture, so access depends on the goodwill of the landowner and an awareness that the ground around it is actively farmed. The south-facing slope means the stone catches reasonable light for much of the day, which makes the subtleties of its unusual profile easier to read in person than in photographs. It is worth walking around it fully rather than viewing it from a single angle; the shift between the rectangular side profiles and the pointed, bulging end profiles is the detail that sets it apart from more straightforward uprights, and it only becomes apparent once you have moved around to the east or west face.
