In pasture sheltered by trees. According to local information, a mass-rock was located on a raised triangular area (8m N-S; 5m E-W; H 0.4m) in the SW corner of a field. The field is known locally as the 'altar field', though there is no evidence of an altar stone. A lintelled wall cup-board (Wth 0.7m; H 0.6m; D 0.75m) is built into the W end of the boundary wall at the S. A holly tree grows from a collection of mainly small stones piled randomly against the S wall to the E of the wall cup-board.
