The SMR records a possible standing stone just below the main summit of Killoeter Hill.
Field survey recorded the monument as being 1.9m long. The base was 0.9m wide and it was visible to a prone height of 0.8m. The stone tapers to a tip c. 0.5m in width and appears to be polygonal although it is partially buried and only two faces remain visible. A possible water filled socket hole was recorded at the base. It is roughly circular with well defined edges and is c. 1.6m in diameter by c. 0.15m in depth.
