Rising just 1.27 metres from the ground, it is a modest presence, rectangular in plan and oriented along a NW-SE axis, which may or may not be deliberate but is the kind of detail that invites speculation. Standing stones, raised by prehistoric communities across Ireland, are among the most enigmatic monuments in the landscape; their original purposes remain genuinely uncertain, with theories ranging from territorial markers and ritual focal points to astronomical alignments and burial indicators.

The stone measures 0.3 metres by 0.27 metres at its base and sits on a very gentle north-east-facing slope. Notably, no packing stones were recorded around its base. Packing stones are the smaller rocks typically wedged around the foot of a standing stone to stabilise it in the ground, and their absence here is an unusual characteristic worth remarking upon, raising quiet questions about how the stone has managed to remain upright, or whether the ground around it has shifted over the centuries.
