Approx 200m NE of Ledbeg A and B Cairns and in a natural amphitheatre opening out to the SE towards Loch Borralan.
The stone's maximum length was 3.12m and it was roughly square in section tapering from .70 x .70m sq at the base to .50 x .50m sq towards the top before reducing irregularly to .50m x .26m. The visible faces appeared to have been worked to the desired shape. It was largely buried at the time of discovery. <1>
