In pasture, on E side of road c. 40m N of standing stone (10038) and c. 350m S of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13882). Subrectangular stone (1.4m x 0.75m; H 0.55m) with three hollows on upper surface. Largest hollow (diam. 0.38m; D 0.2m) in NW corner with overflow channel on N side. Second hollow (diam. 0.33m; D 0.23m) immediately to SE of latter. Third hollow (diam. 0.2m x 0.32m; D 0.2m) on S side with overflow channel on S side. Probably same stone as that described by Power (1932, 63) as 'five feet by two by three, with three cup-shaped and artificial cavities of bullan type' lying near church (14433).
