I nearly walked right by this stone as it is hidden by a fir tree that is growing right next to it. It isn't marked on the OS map, but there's so much in the Loughcrew area that they couldn't possibly mark them all.
The stone is a big chunky one - 1.8m high and 1m thick. A stone-high carpet of brambles and other vegetation stopped me getting a good look at it.

Patrickstown Hill can be reached in two ways. You can park at the main Loughcrew parking site, climb Carnbane East where cairn T is and then wander over to Patrickstown Hill, or you can park on the east side of the hill and follow the track that starts opposite the small car park there (N 603 782). To find this car park follow the N154 south from Oldcastle towards Kells. The car park is about 7km from Oldcastle on the left. This stone is a few hundered yards along the track on the right, but hard to spot.
