The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the foot of an E-facing slope. An upright stone that has split into three sections along its long axis (NNE-SSW). The highest section (H 2m; at base: 1.8m x 0.35m) is at the E side and has a roughly-triangular profile with a pointed top. The lower sections (H 1.5m; 0.7m x 0.14m & H 0.85m; 0.66m x 0.2m) have a roughly rectangular profile. Packing stones are evident around the base of the stone.
