The National Monuments Service's description

On a steep NW-facing slope. A single leaning sandstone upright (H 1.2m; Wth 1.34m; T 0.4m) is aligned ENE-WSW. The stone narrows towards the top giving it a somewhat triangular profile. There are reported to have been at least three other uprights in close proximity which were destroyed in the 1950s (local information) and their position relative to the extant stone is unknown (SMR file). The nature of this monument cannot be determined on the basis of the available evidence.
