In rough pasture, on a S-facing rocky slope, overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. This possible standing stone (L 2.65m; Wth 0.6m; T 0.26m) leans against a low outcropping rock. According to local information, the stone once stood in the depression which is visible in the ground at the S end of the stone. Possible packing-stones were noted in this depression.
