The monument comprises a cup marked stone dating from the Neolithic (4100-2200BC) to Bronze Age (2200-800BC). The stone is built into a ruined stone dyke running northeast-southwest from on an area of flat ground to the southeast of a narrow burn.
The cup marked stone is a rounded granite boulder measuring 1.3m long by 0.75m wide and 0.75 m high. The stone has up to five cup marks and may have originally been a standing stone.
