The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Standing stone, aligned NW-SW (L 0.80m, 0.55m %; H 0.95m) with large block (0.90m x 0.80m; H 0.70m) beside it at NW. The latter stone does not appear to be set and its base is discernible on SW side. The exact nature of this monument is unclear and the possibility that it could represent the last remnants of a megalithic tomb cannot be ruled out.
