The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of a S-facing slope in a col with slightly higher ground to the NW and E, and a NW-SE section of the River Dee is c. 300m to the SW. This is a boulder (dims 0.8m x 0.4m) with two basins (dims 0.3m x 0.27m; D 0.25m: 0.28m x 0.26m; D 0.2m) that is broken at one edge. The cross-base (ME005-068001-) is nearby and the fragment of a bullaun stone (ME005-068003-) is just to the NNE.
