This is a huge stone that stands over 2.5m tall. It appears even taller, as it is on ground that is 1m above the road in front of it.

It stands in in one corner of the front garden of a house called the Milestone. Its size makes it very hard to miss as you drive by. Milltown is a very busy townland with several other standing stones, some rock art and a stone pair called The Gates of Glory.
