The standing stone is at the edge of a hill sloping down to the sea in the north. The surrounding hill has several rocky outcrops and high grass. Just north of the stone the terrain slopes steeply. A local road is going east to west just south of the stone and the stone is easily visible from the road.
The stone is 2,5 metres in height, 60cm wide and 30-40cm thick. It has an irregular appearance and the top ends in a sharp point.The stone had previsouly fallen over but was restored.
