The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a slight ledge at the base of a SW-facing slope. An upright stone (H 1.5m; Wth 0.91m; T 0.6m), leaning slightly to the N, which is roughly rectangular in profile. Its long axis is aligned NE-SW. Parts of the stone have been worn smooth by cattle rubbing against it; they have also worn down the ground around the base of the stone exposing some packing stones.
