The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in undulating terrain with Nephin Mountain dominating the skyline at SSW.
This standing stone has split into two. It now consists of two close-set, upright stone slabs, with their long axes parallel and oriented NW–SE. The NW slab (H 1.7m; Wth 1.9m; T 0.3m) is vertical, with a gap of 0.2m separating it from the SE slab (H 1.25m; Wth 2.02m; T 0.35m at base), which leans slightly to SE. The intervening gap is partly infilled with soil and stones.
