The view to the E is extensive, good to the N and S and impeded upslope to the W. An old red sandstone standing stone (0.5m x 0.3m; H 0.8m) trapezoidal in plan and orientated E-W. It narrows towards the top, which has a flat surface (0.52m x 0.18m). According to Power (1908, 45-78) this is the location of an early church site (TS088-033----).

Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the stone's positioning suggests a possible ritual or funerary function, potentially linked to the nearby graveyard. Its alignment and visibility may have held symbolic or ceremonial significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
