A single congromerate stone of coarse texture, about 7' in lenght and varying in width from 6' at one end to about 4' at the other Western end and about 3' thick. It may once have been erect but now lies flat on open, marshy meadow. Easily seen from the adjacent bridle way.
Some sites recognise a second stone about 50' to the North West.
