Standing Stone - Almost square in section with a flat top steeply splayed to one edge. It is 0.75m high on that side, its tallest and 0.60m high on the opposite side, its lowest.
Also: Possible Fallen Stone - A large slab 2.0m by 1.0m and 0.30m thick lying toppled with the suggestion of a socket hole from which it may have fallen.
Stone Setting and Field (Feature 4). Some 20m to the northwest of the cairn is a slightly sunken grassy area 40m long by 15m wide. A shape outlined in stones, is situated at the northwest end of the 'field'.
Cairn - Almost circular in plan being 7.0m from north to south but smaller at 6.0m from east to west.
