It measures 1.8 metres in length and roughly 0.6 by 0.4 metres in cross-section, not especially large, but substantial enough that whoever decided to repurpose it found it easier to incorporate than to shift entirely. From this spot, Miskish Mountain fills the northern view, the same landscape that would have framed the stone when it was first erected, presumably upright, in an era when such stones marked boundaries, ritual sites, or territorial claims in ways that are still not fully understood.

The stone's original position was almost certainly elsewhere on the same land. Local knowledge places its first home in a field called Páirc a' Galláin, an Irish-language name that translates loosely as the field of the standing stone, suggesting the stone was a recognised feature of the landscape long enough to give the field its name. That kind of embedded, practical memory is often the only record that survives for sites like this. At some point, for reasons unrecorded, the stone was moved and laid into the wall footing, its exact former location within the field now lost. A standing stone repurposed in this way is not unusual in Ireland; field clearance, boundary construction, and simple convenience have claimed many such monuments over centuries. What makes this one quietly interesting is that the local name kept the memory alive even after the stone itself had been moved and laid flat, a small piece of linguistic preservation where the physical evidence had already been rearranged.
