This ohgam stone is signposted from the B46 at Greencastle and fairly easy to find. One word of caution though - there is no sign pointing into the field from the road, so you have to keep an eye out for it as you get near.

The stone stands oddly on a flat rock, supported by some rocks around its base. The inscription is very clear on one face, but quite worn on the adjoining face. This makes it impossible to read the inscription properly. Perhaps the right lighting conditions would reveal a bit more.

The stone is around 1.5m tall and situated on a northeast facing slope on the opposite side of the valley to the amazing ring cairn at Dun Ruadh (County Tyrone).
