The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a break in a gentle E-facing slope. A rectangular limestone upright (H 1.06m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.16m), leaning slightly to the S, with its long axis aligned E-W. The edges of the stone have been rubbed smooth by cattle, who have also worn a shallow hollow around its base. This stone was removed sometime prior to 2005 judging by aerial photographic evidence and an unfinished bungalow now occupies the site.
