The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. A row (L 6.75m) of three upright granite stones, aligned ENE-WSW. The stones decrease in height from the ENE: the stone at ENE (L 1m; T 0.8m; H 1.5m) is 1.9m from the middle stone; the middle stone (L 1.1m; T 0.8m; H 1.3m) is slightly off the main axis line to the NW; the WSW stone (L 1m; T 0.8m; H 0.95m) is 1.75m from the middle stone. Barrington (1986, 217) refers to an 'alignment of four stones' but there are no visible remains of the fourth stone. There is a standing stone (KE058-131----) c. 100m to the E.
