The National Monuments Service's description
Cody (1989, 164-5) recorded a ‘weather-beaten’ standing stone (H 0.85m; base Wth 0.7m; T 0.55m) in woodland; it was roughly subrectangular in plan and aligned NNW-SSE. No visible surface trace survives. it was probably removed during the subsequent clearing of the woodland; a factory now occupies the site.
