The stone (H 0.4m; 0.25m x 0.15m) is cemented onto a stone wall. It has a lip around its base and a rounded head, underneath which is a hollowed angle. It narrows towards the top but there is a slight ridge around its midpoint. Locally it is considered to represent the human form and it is known as 'the holy stone' or 'the godstone'. A coffin-resting stone (CO126-031001-) lies c. 70m to the E. (O'Shea and Crowley 1972, 91)
