Standing Stone, Garrisdale Point.
On the grassy terrace beneath the cliffs, ¾ mile north-east of Garrisdale Point, are foundations of old farm buildings lying on either side of a small burn. Within the remains of an enclosure is a standing stone of basalt 3 feet in height, tapering from 1 foot 2 ½ inches to 1 foot 1 inch in width, and 7 inches in thickness. Three sides are plain, but on the other face there is, 8 ½ inches from the top, a circular sinking 1 ½ inches in diameter and 2½ inches deep, from which three incised lines, each 6 inches in length, radiate downward.
