(NF 7340 3366) Crois Chnoca Breaca (NR)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1928)
On a small mound about 6ft high, about 100 yards from the shore to the west of Stoneybridge, there is a standing stone 6ft 8ins. high, 1ft 4ins broad at the base and 9ins thick. Although shaped like a cross with one arm broken off (hence the name "Crois Chnoca Breaca") it is a natural formation (RCAHMS 1928). Incorrectly described as a chambered cairn on OS 1"map, (sheet No. 23)
RCAHMS 1928; A S Henshall 1972; Information from A.O. archive 930/4.
The stone is as described by RCAHMS; the grass-covered mound of stones on which it stands is probably packing material. The name is still known locally.
Re-surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (N K B) 10 May 1965.
