Large standing stone located within an enclosed field on an east-west aligned ridge. The stone is 2.5m tall, 1.4m wide and 0.5m in depth. It is aligned north-south and has a weathered surface and a rectangular profile with parallel sides that rise to a bluntly rounded point. It is made up of a local igneous rock and is notable for its quartz veins.

The stone is depicted on early editions of OS County series (Anglesey XVIII.8 1900, 1920), but not as an antiquity and it does not feature on the 1st edition of 1889. The stone stood on the line of an old field boundary and may have marked a gateway.
