Standing Stone, Clach na h-Annait, Kilbride.
The stone known as Clach nah-Annait (‘Stone of the Mother Church’) is a fine monolith, quadrangular in section for the greater part of its length, measuring 7 feet 9 inches in height above ground and 5 feet 10 inches in girth at the base. It stands in a hollow in the middle of Strath Suardal, at an elevation of about 80 feet above sea-level, 100 yards almost west of Kilbride House and 4½miles south-west of Broadford. (Fig. 268.) Kilbride Church may have been on a rocky mound about 25 yards south-east of the stone, but all traces of the building have disappeared, and the exact site is not known.
