This standing stone is situated on the NW side of a farmtrack 380m NW of Nether Auquhollie farmsteading. It measures 0.43m by 0.66m by 0.7m at the base and 2.35m in height, and bears an ogham inscription on its SE edge. There is no trace of a Pictish double-disc symbol which is alleged to have existed on the NE side of the stone. The stone is said to have been part of a circle which was removed before 1865, and the adjacent croft (now demolished) was called Langstanes.
