OS 6" map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
Clach Ard is described by Martin (1934) as the 'High Stone of Uig' placed in the middle of a cairn. RCAHMS (1928) classify it as a standing stone (now fallen) lying on the summit of a stony mound resembling a denuded cairn. It is a four-sided prism tapering slightly towards one end measuring 5ft 2ins in length, 1ft 10ins in breadth and 1ft 5ins thick. About 7ft to the NE, are two rough boulders, 1ft 6ins apart, embedded in the ground.
