Lochmaben Stone NY 312 659 NY36NW 25
This standing stone, also known as the Clochmaben Stone, is situated 490m S of Old Graitney farmhouse and measures 2.3m in height. About 23m to the NNE there is a second, smaller, stone now incorporated in a modern fence-line, and it may be all that remains of an enclosure of 'about half an acre' noted in the 18th century. It has been suggested that the name Lochmaben is derived from the Celtic god Maponus, and that this was a cult centre.
