The National Monuments Service's description
Identified by Van Hoek in 198. This low upright stone does not display the characteristic features of a standing stone and there may be doubt about its antiquity. However its close proximity to a panel of rock art that is only 57m to the N which may suggest that it is an authentic standing stone(H 0.8m ; base Wth 0.8m; top with 0.65m; T 0.14m) with its long axis orientated on an E-W axis. A second possible standing stone (DG003-015001-) recorded by Van Hoek is located 43m to the NW and a panel of rock art (DG003-015-) is located 57m to the NW.
