The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in the middle of the uppermost tier of a stepped barrow (CL008-062001-), this standing stone (H 1.78m; Wth 0.32-0.42m; T 0.21m) is rectangular in cross-section, widening toward the top, and leaning to the E. It is oriented SSW-NNE. Beside this to the NE is a fallen slab (L 0.8m; Wth 0.41m; T 0.21m) of the same shape and possibly a fragment of the standing stone. Both stones are roughly shaped and somewhat weathered.
