I've driven past this stone a few times now on the way to the complexes in the same townland. It stands right at the side of the track that leads to them. It is 1.6m tall and very uneven. It is aligned northwest-southeast on its long axis and may point to the dome of rock at Scartnadrinnymountain.

A few metres away there is a Fogra protection sign, but it's hard to know exactly what it is marking. There are a couple low, circular structures that may be hut sites. This could be where the people who built the many monuments in the valley above lived.
