The National Monuments Service's description
Tall upright stone (H 1.2m; 0.7m x 0.58m) of rectangular cross section situated on SSW facing slope of rising ground overlooking Teelin Bay to S. The long axis of the stone is orientated on a NW-SE axis. The stone does not have any evidence of packing stones around its base and does not possess the typical tapering point at the top which casts doubt about the antiquity of this stone.
