The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on gentle SW-facing slope. This conglomerate upright (H 1.55m; Wth 1.35m; T 0.6m), oriented NW-SE, is firmly set in ground with some packing stones at base on SE-side. It is slightly narrower at the base and the width increases towards the top of the stone. Some loose field clearance stones have been placed near it. The portal tomb (KK035-044----) stands c. 100m to the NE.
