Situated on south facing slope of rising ground in beech woodland demesne of Carrick Lodge which is located 90m to the west. Tall tapering pillar stone (H 1.42m; 0.51m x 0.28m) with straight sides that is sub-rectangular in plan and is orienated NNW-ESE on its long axis. There is evidence of plough marks on the southwest face. According to local information this stone may was found in in a prostrate position and was re-erected in the location where it was found in the late 1960's or early 1970's. This stone appears to have been erected by the original owners of the nearby Carrick Lodge possibly in the 19th century as either a scratching post or as a designed landscape feature. However it cannot be ruled out that this is a genuine prehistoric standing stone which was later reused as a landscape feature. Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12). ## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) - Carrick Lodge, country house, hunting/fishing lodge, 1855–1915, Regional interest, registry number 40842001, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=DG®no=40842001.
