The National Monuments Service's description
On the break of an E-facing slope in upland terrain, under pasture. Stone pair aligned NE (50 degrees)-SW (230 degrees). Lower stone(max. H 0.97m) at the NE end of the alignment has a rounded profile and leans to SE. It is composed of reddish sandstone with quartz veins and has an irregular rectangular plan (Wth 0.5m NE; 0.8m SE; 0.64m SW; 1.12m NW). The taller stone (H 1.93), lies 1.3m to SW. It is composed of a darker red sandstone and has a number of packing stones around its base. It is roughly square in plan (Wth 0.55m NE; 0.6m SE; 0.64m SW; 0.55m NW), though it broadens out towards its flat top (Wth 0.69m NW). This stone is badly spawled, however, there is a suggestion of ogham script on the S angle, with two incisded horizontal lines 0.44m from the top and 0.03m apart. There are a number of loose stones lying about, possibly clearance. Slight hollow at base of both stones probably result of cattle scratching.
