This standing stone is located at a small hilltop on a ridge overlooking the lake and road further below. It is standing in a grassy field and some small birch trees are located south-east of the stone.
The stone is 2,3 metres in height, 0,57 metres wide at the base and 0,21 metres thick. It gets a little narrower close to the top and the top has a rounded shape. The stone was removed from its original place but was moved back to the original spot in 1974. The stone is easily visible from the road.
