(NH 8555 7471) Clach A' Charridh (NR) (Sculptured Stone)
OS 6" map, Ross-shire, 2nd ed., (1907).
This symbol stone stands in a field on a hillside sloping towards the sea above the S side of the village of Shandwick, where burials took place in former times. Blown down c.1846 and broken into two pieces it has since been repaired and re-erected on a circular stepped base which conceals some of the sculpture at the bottom.
It is an upright rectangular cross-slab c. 9ft high by 3ft 3ins with sculptured relief on two faces.
