There are three stones here in a line, almost certainly not in their original positions. The largest, known as the Roman Stone, leans sharply to the east but still manages a vertical height of around 1.90m. Beside it is a block of whinstone about 0.50m thick by 1.30m long by by 0.85m wide and a now earthfast stone decorated with 22 cupmarks.
