The National Monuments Service's description
In hilly pasture, on the SE-facing slope of an E-W ridge. An upright stone of conglomerate (H 1.3m; Wth at base 1.1m; Wth at shoulder 0.95m; T 0.6m), with its long axis aligned NE-SW. It leans slightly to SE. It is roughly rectangular in section and has a rectangular profile with a rounded top. The surface of the stone has been polished by cattle rubbing against it; they have also worn an area around the base revealing several packing stones.
