This particular example sits in bogland on the lower western slopes of Musherabeg, a hill in Mid Cork, leaning slightly to the north-east as though it has been slowly yielding to the soft ground beneath it for centuries.

The stone is rectangular in plan, measuring 1.65 metres in height and roughly 0.85 metres by 0.45 metres across its face, with its long axis running north-east to south-west. The fact that it was absent from the Ordnance Survey's six-inch mapping of 1842 is worth pausing on. That survey was remarkably thorough, and standing stones as a class of monument were generally noted when encountered. Its omission here may reflect the difficulty of moving through bogland, or simply the stone's modest profile against a broad hillside. What brought it to attention later is unrecorded, but it was eventually documented as part of the wider archaeological inventory of County Cork.

Bogland settings like this one are not unusual for standing stones in Ireland. The bog has in many cases preserved the landscape around such monuments much as it was when they were first erected, though it also makes approach awkward underfoot. The Musherabeg area of Mid Cork is not heavily visited, and the stone itself, tilting quietly into the slope, offers little drama from a distance. Up close, the lean and the grain of the stone tell a more patient story.
