It lies flat beside a field fence, in the south-west corner of the field, roughly 35 metres south-south-west of the spot where it originally stood upright for, presumably, several thousand years. The stone itself is substantial enough, measuring 1.8 metres in length and about 1.1 metres across at its widest point, the kind of monument that would have been a visible landmark in the landscape for much of prehistory. Now it is horizontal, easy to overlook as just another large stone at the margin of a field.

According to local information, the stone was moved around 1981 to its present position. That date places the displacement within living memory, which gives it a particular quality of loss. Standing stones are among the most common prehistoric monument types in Ireland, generally dating to the Bronze Age, and they were set upright with considerable effort, often serving as territorial markers, burial indicators, or ceremonial waypoints. Their original positions matter, archaeologically speaking, because alignment, horizon, and relationship to other features in the landscape are frequently part of whatever purpose they served. The original location of this stone is recorded separately, and the roughly 35-metre distance between where it was and where it now rests is enough to sever any meaningful connection to that original context.
