The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, near the S edge of an E-W ridge overlooking Roaring Water Bay and its islands. This possible standing stone (0.65m x 0.45m; H 0.9m) is roughly rectangular in plan and section and lies prostrate on the ground on a NW-SE orientation. It is known locally as the 'White Rock'. Apart from the SW face, all of the other faces and sides of this possible standing stone are covered in lichen.
