On an ESE-facing slope, in pasture. Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. Standing stone of sandstone and quartz conglomerate with some pebbles on the E side (1m x 0.5m; H 0.8m), rectangular in plan and orientated NNW-SSE. There is a packing stone at base on W side. The angles of the stone are worn from cattle abrasion. According to local information, a second stone was removed recently from beside the ditch to the E. A standing stone (TS071-017001-) and enclosure (TS071-017----) are located c. 45m to the E and another standing stone (TS071-056----) is c. 220m to the WSW.
