On two previous occasions I have chickened out of making the last leg of visiting this site. I have crossed the ford and walked to the gate each time, but the big red signs about this area being a firing range have, quite naturally, put me off. However, The stone is right on the edge of the range and there appeared to be a well-used track leading across the fields. The fact that there were sheep wondering around (and not exploding before my eyes) gave me a bit more confidence. Obviously, due to the above concerns, I can not recommend that anyone follows my example and visits this stone!
When I first passed by the stone I ignored it. For some reason I had it in my head that I was looking for something about 2m tall. However, the stone is actually 1.4m tall. Well, it would be if it was still properly upright, but it leans heavily to the northeast.
It is rectangular in plan with a pointy top. Nearby trees block most of the views from here except to the southwest, where Keadeen Mountain can be seen.
