The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W side of a low rise, in gently undulating pasture. Monument described in 1988 as a small limestone slab (H 1.6m; L 0.8m; T 0.3m) which is irregular in elevation and tapers to a roughly rounded top. Parts of the stone appear to have broken away toward the top on one side. The stone is in a slight depression.
