The National Monuments Service's description
All that remains visible are the W corner, approximately rectangular, of a large slab with another stone set on edge beside it. The latter is orientated approximately SW-NE. According to the landowner the SW-NE stone was years ago about 1 ft 6 inches (0.45m) in height. It is now only c. 0.15m in height. The stone on edge is 0.9m in length.
