Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons September 2010.
The large capstone (3.0 metres by 1.5 metres) sits on three upright stones with a further stone lying next to it. There are two huge quartz stones here and a somewhat dilapidated fence around the site to protect it from cattle. The site is reached by a 200 metre footpath from the road.
