The setting for this limestone standing stone is almost idyllic. It stands in the middle of a field that is part of an old strip field system - that is, the fields here are still small and arranged in strips across the hillside. They are separated by lovely dry stone walls, not horrible electric fences. This si what you imagine Irish fields to look like.
The stone is about 1.8m tall and has an even cross section. The west face is almost smooth, while the opposite face curves gently into the sides. Views are restricted, because the stone is in the bottom of a dip.
