At the crest of a S-facing slope at the S end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. Upright stone with a subrectangular cross-section (dims of base 0.9m N-S; 0.5m E-W; H 0.8m) which has had its top removed leaving a scar, and now has a whitethorn tree growing around its S edge. The possible ringfort (RO026-051----) is at the same location.
