The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pasture. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map but shown on the 1914 ed. A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded that this limestone slab was upright and was aligned NW-SE. It is now recumbent (L 1.7m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.4m). Another standing stone (LF011-062----) lies c. 300m to the NW. (ITA Survey 1944; English 1971, 153)
