A disappointing standing stone, because it has, rather sadly, fallen. It now lies in a barley field. It is simply refered to as a scrathing post by the elder farmer here and it was presumably its use as a scratching post that led to its demise.
Assuming it was not set very deep, the stone wouldn't have stood much over 1.5m tall. It is 1m x 0.7m in cross-section. The stone lies near to the eastern end of the track frequented by walkers that leads over the Comeragh Mountains through the high pass known as The Gap. At the west end of this track is the standing stone at Carrigeen (County Waterford).
