This wonderful 3.2m stone only has one draw back and that is its proximity to a farm yard. Remove that (and the bungalow) and this stone would rank amongst the finest.
It has a slight shoulder just over half way up, a feature common to the large stones in county Down, such as Barnmeen (County Down) and Tamnaharry (County Down). One face is almost vertical, seemingly smoothed, but with enough lumps and bumps to suggest that it may be a naturally formed face, which along with the shoulder would have been the reason for its selection in the first place.
The base is significantly thicker than the top half giving it a very phallic look from certain angles.
