This propped stone sits at an altitude of 370m, the slab measuring 40cms thick, 80cms wide and 110cms long. The slab is made of Great Scar Limestone. This slab is placed on a low knoll; its precise origin is not immediately clear, but the stone matches both the scar above and a lower limestone pavement. There are no other similar slabs in the vicinity. There is one prop - an irregular piece of limestone - which supports the slab, which is smaller than in other similar features; it is also trapped by the slab against the bedrock at an unnatural angle.
