Drumlins, those smooth oval hills shaped by glacial activity, cluster thickly across this part of Ulster, and the stone sits in the shallow ground between them, aligned roughly northwest to southeast along the ridge itself.

The stone is a relatively compact upright pillar with a subrectangular cross-section, meaning its profile is closer to a flattened rectangle than a rounded column. It measures between 0.45 and 0.8 metres in width and 0.75 to 0.85 metres in depth, rising to just over a metre in height, and it narrows to a crest at the top. That modest scale is part of what makes it easy to overlook, the kind of prehistoric marker that does not announce itself but simply persists, generation after generation, in the same patch of ground. Its northwest to southeast orientation mirrors the ridge on which it stands, which may be coincidence or may reflect some deliberate relationship with the local topography, though the record does not venture a conclusion either way.
