This huge standing stone is perched on a northeast facing slope on the opposite side of a small valley to Dun Ruadh (County Tyrone). It is also in the same field as an ogham stone. It's quite possible that this monolith has some relationship with the ring cairn.

The stone is not worked in any way and is quite ugly in an oddly appealling way. It is 50cm thick, 1.5m wide and over 3m tall. It is a whopper!
