Situated on south facing slope of rising ground in beech woodland demesne of Carrick Lodge which is located 90m to the west. Tall tapering pillar stone (H 1.42m; 0.51m x 0.28m) with straight sides that is sub-rectangular in plan and is orienated NNW-ESE on its long axis. There is evidence of plough marks on the southwest face. According to local information this stone may was found in in a prostrate position and was re-erected in the location where it was found in the late 1960's or early 1970's. This stone appears to have been erected by the original owners of the nearby Carrick Lodge possibly in the 19th century as either a scratching post or as a designed landscape feature. However it cannot be ruled out that this is a genuine prehistoric standing stone which was later reused as a landscape feature.
