It is uncommon to see inscriptions on both sides and there is a small carving above the cross on the upper face which is hard to see.
It is in a position that may place it on the same mediaeval road as the Ogham stones on the opposite side of the Sullane at Shanacloon and is about 1km. distant.
Contained within a small circular stone enclosure and accessed through a well signed and purpose made gate from a small road at the rear of Ballymakeery Post office.
