A large unsculptured boulder, 1.7m high by 1.6m by 0.7m with a flat top measuring about 1.1m by 0.7m. It is situated on the crest of a south-facing slope, in a fenced-off square.
Listed by RCAHMS as "possible henge" but no henge is visible to the naked eye or in aerial photographs (though it would perhaps explain why such a large area has been fenced-off).
