The National Monuments Service's description
Located in level average pasture, c. 400m N of Elly Harbour, on the SE side of the Mullet peninsula, with good but views over surrounding flat coastal grassland.
Upright stone slab (H 1.8m; Wth base 0.54m, Wth top 0.34m; T base 0.2m), with rectangular cross-section, and long axis aligned roughly N–S. The slab is thickest at its base and narrows to a sharp edge at the top. The top is sloping along its long axis, rising to a peak at its S end. The slab has an angular-shape which gives it the appearance of bending or leaning to the S. Another standing stone (MA016-017----) is located 300m to S.
