The National Monuments Service's description
In rocky bogland on the E edge of a gravel quarry on the W edge of a ridge in mountain terrain with extensive views from W to N. Listed in the RMP (1996) as ‘Megalithic structure’. A sandstone conglomerate orientated SW-NE (H 1.45m rising to 1.8m at SW; Wth 0.85m; T 0.6-0.75m at base, tapering toward the top (0.15m)) situated dangerously close (0.4m) to a quarry edge and in close proximity and at right angles to a glacial erratic (2m to S). The two stones form a striking view against the skyline from the NW. Several other glacial erratics occur in the area. The adjacent erratic (L 2.8m; Wth 1.8m; H 1.8m) is also a sandstone conglomerate and is one of the largest boulders on the ridge. Although natural it is clearly associated with the standing stone.
