This row of three or four stones (there are four stones, but it is thought that a prostrate stone at the southwest end of the row was probably split off the standing stone at the northeast end of the row) stand in a straight line running approximately northeast to southwest in a field on a ridge.

The two outer upright stones are each about six feet tall (or would be if they were not leaning).

The central stone is about four and a half feet tall and has over twenty cup marks on its flattented top surface.
