The National Monuments Service's description
On an ESE-facing slope, off-centre to S within the interior of an enclosure (TS071-017----), in pasture . Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. A conglomerate standing stone (1.1m x 0.8m; H 1.2m) irregular in plan and orientated NE-SW. It is squat and rises to a flat point. There is a depression around the NE and SE base of the stone due to cattle erosion. According to local information, a second stone was removed from beside the ditch in the field adjacent to W. There is a standing stone (TS071-055----) located c. 45m to the W and another (TS071-056----) c. 260m to the SW.
