The National Monuments Service's description
In rough scrub and pastureland. Redington (1916a, 58-9) recorded a possible standing stone which consisted of ‘a roughly pointed triangular stone, now built into a single wall ... It measures 7 ft. [c. 2.1m] each way, and 18 ins. [c. 0.7m] thick. It was known locally as ‘Clogh a tumpaun’ or ‘Troublesome Stone’
because ‘it never would stay where it was put’. True to local radition, on inspection the stone could not be found!
