This is one of the least impressive standing stones around Knocklayd and is made more so by the closeness of a hedgerow and the farm buildings that stand between it and Knocklayd to the east. It stands at the top of a steep bank where the final slopes of Knocklayd fall into the valley below.

The stone is a little over 1.5m tall and 1m across with a very uneven cross-section.
