On a SE-facing slope, in pasture. Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. A standing stone of sandstone conglomerate with quartz pebbles (1.15m x 0.5m; H 1.0m) sub-rectangular in plan and orientated N-S. There is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion. A standing stone (TS071-017001-) and enclosure (TS071-017----) are located c. 260m to the ENE and another standing stone (TS071-055----) is c. 220m to the ENE.

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone's orientation and material suggest it may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. No specific folklore or use is recorded for this site.
