The stone is about 2.5 metres in height, about 30-40cm wide, and has a very pretty rounded top.
At the original site was a total of 5 standing stones, but they were all removed to the museum in 1951.
The museum garden is a beautiful site with neatly cut grass and some large pine trees and some flower bushes.
