OS 6" map (1967)
This unsculptured standing stone, on the crest of slightly rising ground, is 5'10" high; 3' from the ground, its girth is 11'10". It is of sandstone, main axis N-S, and appears to have been subjected to fire or heat. The stones around the base could be packing, or merely field clearance.

When seen in 1959, this stone was as described but by 1972 it had been set in a pavement of granite setts as a "feature" in a green space in a housing estate.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 25 February 1959; Information from M Norgate, Dunfermline Museum, letter, 28 November 1972.
