The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a NW-facing slope in rough heather- and sedge-covered upland terrain, overlooked at NE by Contycro hill, with a small lake/bog pool 20m to W and a larger lake 200m to E.
This standing stone is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Upright, flat-topped, roughly rectangular-shaped slab (H 0.61m; L 0.52m; max T 0.09m) with long axis aligned NW-SE. It is roughly triangular in cross-section. There is a narrow slab laid on edge along the base of the stone on the SW side; probably a support. The standing stone is no longer earth-fast.
