Stonefield Park Road, Doonfoot NS 3227 1869 NS31NW 8
This standing stone is situated in a housing estate at the N end of Stonefield Park Road. It is a large boulder measuring 1.7m by 0.9m at the base and 1.8m in height. Resurvey in 1980 showed that the stone stands about 10m from its previously recorded position but there is no evidence that it has been moved (OS Field Reports). Although this standing stone has been identified with that referred to by Smith on Burton Farm, it is almost certainly the stone he notes in a field called the Stone Park(ibid).
A second stone is depicted on the first edition OS 6-inch map (Ayrshire 1860, sheet xxxiii) to the SW of Burton Farm at NS 3147 1820 (see NS31NW 7).
