The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located at the base of an E-facing slope. At the top of the slope there is a raised area, which, according to local tradition, is the site of a church (MA021-096001-). Irregular or subrectangular-shaped stone block (L 0.8m N–S; Wth 0.7m; H c. 0.28m) embedded in the ground. A circular hollow (diam. 0.35m; D 0.25m) fills most of the space on the upper surface of the stone. The sides of the hollow are quite high and steep-sided, except at the N edge, where there is a roughly V-shaped notch so that on this side the hollow is enclosed only by low lip of stone. Immediately adjacent to the large hollow, on its S side, there is a smaller, very shallow, roughly oval depression (0.24m E–W; 0.14m N–S) on the surface of the stone.
