This 1.5m+ tall stone stands picturesquely overlooking Lough Brickland. It is one of those stones that looks different from every angle. From one side it is triangular, while from the other it has an overhanging section sticking out of one side.

There are many solution pits on various sides, which may once have been cup marks. There is a pretty, tree covered crannog in the lough below.
