The menhir is 5.2 m high, 2.35 m wide and 1.25 m thick. At a height of 1.5 m, it has a circumference of 5.8 m and is made of granite . In the 19th century it was still surrounded by small menhirs.

The Allée couverte of Creac'h-an-Archant is about 200 m away . It is likely that she belongs to the same group. The collapsed gallery grave lies next to the road on the north side of a low hill.
