After ploughing at Ballymeanoch in June 1993 a large flat stone was uncovered. It lies half buried in a NW to SE orientation with the NW half and part of the southern corner revealed. The stone appears to measure 1250mm by 650mm and about 300mm broad.

With reference to the location plan of Ballymeanoch Standing Stones (RCAHMS 1988), the stone lies 9.7m SE of Stone E and 38.5m SW of Stone A and appears to be in alignment with Stones E and F.

A geophysical survey was also made by GUARD in 1993 at Ballymeanoch, 64 grids, each 20m by 20m being surveyed. A large number of potential anomalies were detected, but only excavation can confirm their interpretation.
