The stone is situated almost directly opposite the entrance to Cottrell Park (restaurant & golf course) but is not visible from the road. It is just to the east of a patch of boggy ground. The stone is in good condition but lies behind barbed wire in no-man's land between the field edge and the A48.
A reference on Coflein states that the stone was removed from its previous location by the entrance of Cottrell Park in 1935, however an 1885 map shows a standing stone in a similar location, so it wasn't moved far.
