NN95NW 9 9425 5942.
(NN 9425 5942) Standing Stone (NR)
OS 6" map, Perthshire, 2nd ed., (1900)
A massive block of quartzitic whinstone 7'3" high. Several more stones are said to have stood here, some of which are supposed to be lying half buried in the field. All are smaller than the extant stone.
F R Coles 1908.
A careful examination of the ground around the stone disclosed no evidence for the site of a circle.
A Reid 1912.
There is some local confusion as to whether the name "Dane's Stone" applies to this feature or NN95NW 11. The name is relatively recent; Mitchell (1923) does not record it, although he describes the stone.
Visited by OS (A A) 11 April 1975.
H Mitchell 1923
A standing stone, 2.1m x 1.3m x 0.6m, increasing to 0.9m wide at ground level. There is no trace of further stones.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (J B) 6 February 1975.
