Information can be found on Canmore ID 51284, which says: "the standing stone that is built into the wall bordering the NW side of the public road halfway between Manor Bridge and Kirkton Manor is not in its original position ..... The stone measures 6 ft 3 in. in height and 4 ft 9 in. by 1 ft 9 in. at ground level. On both the NW and SE faces there are a number of natural hollows which have sometimes been mistaken for prehistoric cup-marks ..... the original position of this stone may be calculated at about NT 2262 3870."
