This slab, on a NE facing hillside, stands to an average height of 2.5m above the irregular depression in which its stone-packed base is set. On the same E-W alignment and 2.4m E of it, is a pair of parallel erect slabs, 0.8m apart, and protruding about 0.3m high. These appear to have been the packing of a second standing stone.
