A row comprising seven upright or leaning orthostats measuring up to 2.9m long and aligned NNE by SSW.
The surrounding land surface is eroding to reveal a silica-rich clay and gravel subsoil into which the stones are set. All the stones are of Carboniferous silicious grit except for one which is a rounded boulder of Old Red Sandstone.
About 20m to the south is a pile of gritstone standing to 0.25m above the eroded surface, possibly the site of a former orthostat.
The alignment lies within a karst landscape of limestone solution hollows; a large shake hole lies to the immediate north. Extensive industrial workings lie in the vicinity.
