This is stone, sadly has been relocated to a roadside position (actually on the other side of the road to where it originally stood). A small stone with it's faded name sits at it's foot.
The stone itself is of the 1.8m phallic variety and has very little remarkable about it. It does show signs of grooves in the one side like those of County Carlow to the south and appears to have been broken off. The grooves seem to be of equal length and therefor the argument of them being natural may not be very sound.

The photographs I took of this site on my first visit are pretty lame, so I decided to revisit to take some better ones. I also wanted to see if I could see the clump of trees that mark the site of The Piper's Stones (County Kildare) to the northwest. You can! However, this stone was moved to its current roadside position, so this line of sight can't be relied on, espcially as just 50m or so along the road you can no longer see the trees. It would be great to know exactly where it originally stood so that the validity of this alignment can be verified.

From Athy take the N78 east and then the R418 south and then take the second left turn off. Go across one crossroads and take the next left and then turn left at the next cross roads. The stone stands in the hedge on the left.
