The National Monuments Service's description
In hilly pastureland, some 90m to the SE of another possible standing stone (GA116-087----). Indicated and named 'Stone' in Roman script on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection all that was visible was a small stone, which was irregular in shape and only a few centimetres above the ground surface. According to the landowner, it originally was very high but it was broken up years ago. The remaining piece could not be moved. Possibly a standing stone.
