The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland, 40m E of a farmhouse. Tall pillar-like standing stone (H 1.54m x 0.27m x 0.36m) with flat top, rectangular in plan. Pillar-stone appearance suggests that the stone was erected as a post-1700 rubbing stone rather than a prehistoric standing stone.
