This pillar measures 0.8 metres in height and is 0.4 metres wide by 0.2 metres thick. Its origin has been estimated by radio-carbon dating as having been between 385 ± 90 a.d. The stone was decorated in early Christian times (c. 7th century) with a Latin cross coupled with bifurcated terminals. The ogham text, set sideways to the cross, reads 'DNE' - D(omi)ne - O Lord. Standing stones were often decorated by early Christians, primarily to disguise their pagan origins.
