(NH 4993 5934) Standing Stone (NR) (NH 5000 5936) Standing Stone (NR)
OS 6"map,(1938)
The western stone, 5' high (Name Book 1876), bears a large cup mark
(D MacDonald, A Polson and J Brown 1931). The eastern stone stands 4' high.(Name Book 1876)
The W stone measures 0.9m x 0.9m and is 2.2m high. The "large cup mark" is about half way up the W face and is 0.2m in diameter and 0.1m deep and appears to be a mortise or socket hole. An apparently natural fissure on the E face at about the same level appears to have been artificially hollowed to form another mortise about 0.3m diameter and 0.15m deep. The stone is surrounded by an iron protection rail. Resurveyed at 1:2500.
The E stone is 1.6m high and roughly cylindrical, 0.9m in diameter. It is surrounded by an iron protection rail.
