The monument is a tall standing stone on moorland. The stone is a
slab 2.4m in height, 0.7m wide and 0.4m thick. It is pointed at the
top and faces E-W. There are a number of loose stones which pack the standing stone at its base. The area to be scheduled measures 20m in diameter to include the standing stone and an area around in which traces of activities associated with its erection may survive, as
shown in red on the attached map.
