Full Description
Standing Stone (NR) OS 1;10,000 map, (1975)
A four-sided stone pillar, about 2ft 9ins square, standing to a height of 9ft 5ins above ground level. It seems to face E, and is tilted slightly towards the W. On its S face, near the W edge and about 3ft above ground level, are some raised markings which have the appearance of sculpture, but are probably natural.
RCAHMS 1911; R W Feachem 1963.
As described above. Visited by OS (R L) 9 May 1967.
No change. Visited by OS (N K B) 6 December 1982.
The ordnance map marks another stone, about 800m to the NE, ND 183451. This stone is now lost; the farmer says it was lost during the war. It is thought to be marked on a map dated 1998 so the story may be inaccurate.
See assoc. docs for SMR ND26SW0003.
