This is a rather insignificant looking standing stone that stands in a roadside field 500m to the east of Kill village. It's rather lucky that it's close to the road, because the field it is in is rather inaccessible. There is an old farmyard just up the road that may provide access, but the stone doesn't look worth it.

The stone is about 1m tall and 1m wide. It is quite close to a hedgerow and high trees around the field block all its views. Presubambly, the views would be quite wide, because this part of the county is very flat. The most prominent feature in the area is the 164m tall Slievenamona Hill 3km to the NNW.
