The National Monuments Service's description
In flat poorly drained grassland. Tall rectangular-shaped stone (H 1.25m x 0.32m x 0.36m) with tapering top, long axis orientated NW-SE. May be a livestock scratching post rather than the remains of a prehistoric standing stone, evidence of livestock rubbing along two sides of standing stone.
