This is quite a large standing some 2.4m tall. It is irregular in section and not finished or worked in any way. It leans by about 10 degrees, but I don't think it will be falling over just yet.
It may have been moved to it's current position (which differs slightly from the OS) at the edge of the field. The nearby mound marked on the OS is invisible and the stone 500 or so away proved very iilusive too.

From Ardee take the R170 east for about 3.5km. You will pass a left turn and then start to go up a small hill where it is possible to park on the left verge. Walk for about 150m further on and go through agate into a field. The stone is on your right about 5m from the gate.
Apparently this stone has some indistinct ogham near the top on one edge. I must admit that I never saw this and will try and look for it next time I am passing. I think I was so impressed with the stone that I stood back and admired rather than inspecting it.
