This particular stone, set on a low rise of ground in the townland of Moorestown, was not placed here by accident. It commands good sightlines towards Slievereagh and Cush Rock, roughly two and a half kilometres to the north-east, suggesting that whoever erected it had a deliberate interest in orienting the monument within its wider terrain.

Standing stones, which are single upright stones set into the ground and found across Ireland from the Bronze Age onwards, were erected for purposes that remain largely debated, ranging from territorial markers to ceremonial or ritual functions. This example measures between 0.9 and 1.14 metres in height, 0.38 metres wide, and 0.4 metres deep, rectangular in plan with a tapering top. Around its base, packing stones are still visible, the smaller stones used to stabilise and secure the upright when it was first set in place, and a detail that survives remarkably intact. The stone was identified by Billy O'Brien of Kilfinnane, and the record was compiled by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details supplied by James and Billy O'Brien, and uploaded in September 2021.

The River Loobagh runs just 34 metres to the south of the stone and marks the townland boundary with Garrynlease, which is a reminder that these old landscape features often sit precisely at the edges of things, on boundaries both ancient and administrative. The pasture here is rough rather than improved, which is partly why the stone and its packing stones have survived undisturbed. Visitors approaching the site should expect uneven ground, and the stone itself is modest in scale, so it is worth taking a bearing on the ridge of Slievereagh to the north-east before you arrive, as the stone's relationship to that horizon is part of what makes its position feel considered rather than incidental.
