It is irregular in form, roughly a metre tall, and its top is concave rather than flat or pointed, curving upward to its greatest height on the eastern side. That slightly cupped, asymmetrical profile is unusual, and it gives the stone an almost worked appearance, though whether that is the result of human shaping or natural weathering is not recorded.

What adds a further layer of interest is the stone's relationship to its immediate surroundings. Approximately twenty metres to the south lies another stone, recorded separately as a possible standing stone, which raises the question of whether the two were ever understood as a pair or part of a broader arrangement. Standing stones of this kind are prehistoric in origin as a general category, though individual examples are notoriously difficult to date precisely without excavation. They served a variety of purposes across different periods, from boundary markers to ritual focal points, and their orientation is sometimes thought to carry significance. This stone's long axis runs north to south, a detail that may or may not be meaningful, but is at least worth noting given the presence of a second stone nearby. Its maximum dimensions are 1.2 metres by 1.2 metres at the base, making it a relatively modest example compared to some of the more dramatically proportioned stones found elsewhere in Munster.
