The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, c. 65m E of a motte and bailey (TS054-050003-). A possible limestone standing stone (0.3m x 0.2m; H 1.16m), sub-rectangular in plan and orientated N-S. The stone is quite narrow with a flat top which suggests that it may have been erected as a cattle scratching post. There is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion.
