On a very gentle SW-facing slope, in improved pasture, with reasonable views of landscape SE-WNW. Depicted as an upright stone on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circle on the OS 25-inch map. Described by Westropp (1917, 11) as a pillar stone. This is a very tall and slender upright stone (H 2.9m; max. T 0.13m at base) with a roughly rectangular elevation to E and W (max. Wth 0.8m at base) which becomes slightly narrower towards the top of the stone, where there is a small rounded point. The E and W elevations have deep oval and irregular solution marks. The ground around the base of the stone forms a slight depression, where it is slightly worn by livestock. A standing stone (CL027-049----) is located c. 90m to SE.
