There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on a slight rise in undulating pasture land.

This feature was first shown on the 1847-9 edition of the OS 6-inch map. All trace of it had been removed by 1952. At the beginning of the 20th century 'two large boulders' are said to have marked the site (OS 1:2,500 Name Book, 1903). The word 'boulders' in the Name Book entry was inserted in place of the words 'standing stones', which are crossed out. According to Thomas Fagan (1845-8), this feature consisted of 'one traceable grave, 12 feet [c. 3.65m] long and 3 feet [c. 0.9m] wide formerly enclosed at sides and ends by large flag stones, two of which still remain and stand 3 feet [c. 0.9m] high, 21/2 feet [c. 0.75m] broad and 1 foot [c. 0.3m] thick. All the others have been removed within memory.' Although it is possible that there were the scant remains of a megalithic tomb here at the time of Fagan's visit, the evidence is insufficient to warrant its acceptance as a proven one.
