The National Monuments Service's description
In improved grassland. Known as 'St. Imor's Stone', this pink granite glacial erratic (1.1m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 0.35m) has two basins, one to the N and the other to the S. Locally they are believed to mark the impression of the saint's knees. Both basins are the same size (diam. 0.3m; D 0.18m). The boulder is nearly completely covered with moss. A children's burial ground (GA107-195002-) is associated.
