The standing stone is 3,5 metres in height and 50cm wide and around 30cm thick. It is tilting slightly to one side, it appears to have a diagonally "cut off" top. The round barrow is around 20 metres to the south east of the stone, just outside the stone fence surrounding the church yard. It is around 15 metres in diameter and around 2 metres in height. it is covered only in grass and its easy to see. Its supposed to be another smaller round barrow but this could not be located.
From the location on the hill there is a beautiful view over the sea and the surrounding islands!
