Approximately 2.4m tall, this is a thin slab with a pronounced tilt towards the south.

Take the A917 from St Andrews east towards Kingsbarns. About 500m before the village is a farm road running SSW. Turn in here, and about 300m in on the right side is a track running ENE parallel with the A917. Park here carefully, and proceed up the track until you see an open gate. The stone is in plain sight.

I could discern no markings of any kind on it.
