Situated on the crest of a broad ridge in a pasture field 200m SSW of Auchnagarran, there is an irregular boulder, with its long axis aligned E-W and now leaning a little to the N. The stone measures 3.15m in girth at the base and about 1m in height and has an irregularly gabled top with the apex a little to the E of the centre.
Another stone is said to have stood in the field known as the 'Ra Field' (NS 004 822), but it was 'overthrown by a farm tenant' some years before 1915' (ACC List 19; NMRS NS08SW 11).
RCAHMS 1988, visited October 1984.
