The National Monuments Service's description
On a low NE-SW running ridge, overlooking a small dry valley to the immediate NW, in rough undulating pasture. A limestone standing stone (0.4m x 0.3m; H 1.7m) rectangular in plan and orientated NE-SW. The stone leans to the SW. It tapers to a sharp point at its apex and has an uneven surface covered with white and yellow lichens. There is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion.
