The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle S-facing slope in the E foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It is looking across a small col at Cloroge More hill to the S. This is a granite stone with a roughly rectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.77m x 0.4m), but it was damaged in antiquity as large pieces have probably been removed from the W side of the stone and it now achieves its maximum height (H 0.95m) at the NE angle. It was first reported by Byron Jones.
