The National Monuments Service's description
On the W side of a well-worn trackway leading from the coast road up through a hill-pass to a valley to the S. A large boulder (L 2.6m E–W; Wth 1.6m; H 1.5m) on the W side of the path. Small stones from fist size down to pebble have been placed on top of the boulder and in every available crack on the S face.
