(NO 2799 4346) MacBeth's Stone (NR)
OS 6" map (1902)
O G S Crawford (visited 14 October 1939) describes it as about 10 ft high with no markings, and standing on a low, large mound, and M E C Stewart (visited 2 February 1956) says it is heavily cup-marked, although those on the W face are more difficult to see, due to weathering. The nature of the stone is not conducive to cup-marking, and the cups are shallow and many are worn flat. A stone coffin is said to have been found at the base of the stone.
