Dimensions above ground: 4,3 x 2,6 x 2,2 m, maximum height has been measured in the pit – 2,5 m, circumference 11,60m. On the E side there are two stairs, created naturally by means of shivers from the stone, while on its surface there is a small hollow (0,4 x 0,15 m). Medium-grained granite-gneiss.
It is said the stone had been left behind by the Devil, who had went looking for a suitable place for his house. In the 1960ties initial archaeological excavations had been carried out near the stone. On the S and SW side of the stone now overgrown dug-up ground is seen.
