The National Monuments Service's description
A short distance to the NNW of the highest point of a prominent NNW-SSE ridge. This low, narrow, subrectangular pillar stone (max. H 1.1m; Wth 0.28m; max. T 0.14m) is aligned ENE-WSW and tapers to a point. The upper part of the WSW face is irregular in profile. A very small Latin cross with expanded terminals is visible close to the top of the SSE face.
