The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SE-facing slope in 1990 (SMR file). This is a narrow stone (dims of base 0.43m x c. 0.1m; H 1.83m) aligned NW-SE and leaning severely to one side. There is a small hole (diam. 3.5cm) penetrating the stone 0.35m from the top and another hole (diam. 3cm) on its crest. The stone may have served as a gatepost at one time, and it had been removed by 2000 (OSAP).
