The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an elevation with views in all directions. Two upright stones, 2.4m apart and aligned N-S. The N stone (L 0.8m; T 0.7m; H 1.6m) is the smaller and more rounded of the two. The S stone is split into two parallel parts: the larger portion (L 1.05m; T 0.4m; H 2.39m) is upright and the smaller part (L 0.96m; T 0.25m; H 1.8m) leans to the W and is supported by a smaller stone.
