The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Monument. The monument comprises a standing stone, which probably dates to the Bronze Age (c.2300 - 800 BC). It is situated on the top of a low hill with 360-degree views and measures 3.1 m high by 0.8 m by 0.35 m. A large buried stone is visible at the base of the standing stone. The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of prehistoric burial and ritual practices. It is an important relic of a prehistoric funerary and ritual landscape and retains significant archaeological potential. There is a strong probability of the presence of intact burial or ritual deposits, together with environmental and structural evidence. Standing stones are often part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance can be further enhanced by their group value. The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
