This large standing stone is situated on the edge of a N-facing terrace in the middle of an arable field about 625m NNW of Dargill farmsteading. It measures 1.5m from N to S by 1.2m transversely at the base and stands 2.4m high. A variety of cropmarks have been observed on air photographs in the field around the stone, including four large pits near the stone and what appears to be a pit-circle to the E (NN82SE 66). The standing stone is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1866, Sheet cvii), but there are no other early references, except that made by Coles (1911) to additional standing stones.
