Stone [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1990.

An erect stone is situated in an arable field 345m NNW of Gamekeepers Cottage (NJ80SW 40.01). It measures about 0.85m square at ground level and rises to a rounded head at a height of 1.5m. The stone is first depicted on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1901, sheet lxxxv.NW) and it was probably erected as a cattle-rubbing stone sometime in the late-19th century.

Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, ATW), 13 February 1997.
