This granite boundary stone is situated immediately S of a drystone dyke 235m W of Westfield Cottage. Rectangular in section, it measures 0.33m in breadth by 0.17m in thickness and 0.95m in height. The top of its S face is bevelled and bears the incised letters ABD below the number 22. Nothing is now visible of the cupmarked boulder bearing a single large cupmark, which once accompanied the boundary stone.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, ATW), 25 February 1997.
