This station is close to the Garda station at a t-junction. It is a small, low cairn with a 1.6m cross-pillar set on it. The west face is plain, with all the decoration appearing on the east face - this staion is approached from the east in the Turas. Like most of the pillars here it is a schist slab.

The design comprises of three circular motifs arranged down its face and linked by a single line. Above this is a cross surrounded by a grid-type decoration.
