The chisel-topped moorland slab stands 0.5m high and is 0.1m thick. It bears the inscription `TS' in letters 0.09m high on its south-eastern face. A similarly inscribed block (SX 67 NE 143) lies 180m to the south-west. Three other stones (SX 67 NE 22, 140 and 141) with different inscriptions also lie on Riddon Ridge. Hemery (1983 522) suggests that they are probably tinners' bound stones.
