(NH 4693 5519) Cup marked Stone (NR) OS 25"map, (1967)

Stone described by F1 is a mortar, not a cup marked stone. There is no trace of stone described by 0NB which, unless measurements are incorrect appears to have been a much larger stone than mortar.
Visited by OS (J B) 23 June 1975

This mortar-stone appears to have been removed, possibly because of construction of new road (A832). Enquiries at Kinnahaird proved fruitless.
Visited by RCAMS (JRS) March 1989.
