Only about twenty-five centimetres of the stone is visible, protruding from the top of a field bank roughly a metre high. Whether the bank accumulated around it over centuries of agricultural activity, or whether the stone was always set low, is not recorded. What is clear is that the monument has been almost entirely swallowed by the landscape around it, and that most people who pass it would have no reason to look twice.

The stone appears to be oriented along an east-west axis, a alignment that is common enough among prehistoric standing stones in Ireland, though the reasons behind such orientations remain a matter of debate among archaeologists. It sits on the north-west facing slope of Tara Hill, a prominent landmark in this part of Wexford. The site is notable partly for what the cartographic record reveals about it: it appears on the 1940 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, but not on earlier editions, which suggests either that it was identified relatively late or that earlier surveyors simply passed it over. That a stone so reduced in stature warranted marking at all speaks to the thoroughness of mid-twentieth century survey work, and perhaps to the fact that someone locally knew what they were looking at.
