The National Monuments Service's description

Original location of a cross-inscribed pillar stone 1.1m high × 0.39m maximum width at the upper half. There is a plain Latin cross with a T-bar terminal at the bottom, and the upper half of a circle joining the top and the two arms. There is another complete circle in the centre at the point where the arms cross the shaft. The cross is .5m high × 0.24m across the arms. It is now situated in a field wall, but was originally sited in the centre of the field known as 'Lacht Field'. There was a cairn (DG012-017002-) some 6ft high associated with it; this has now disappeared. Flat grazing land, overlooking Tremone Bay, some distance to the North.
