(NY 3761 9273) Grey Wether (NAT)
OS 6" map (1957)
The 'Grey Wether', a standing stone, is a large whinstone slab, 4ft 8ins high, 3ft 5ins broad and 1 ft thick, facing WSW-ESE.
RCAHMS 1920, visited 1912
'Grey Wether', name verified. This weathered slab now lies in a level, arable field. Mr Steatham of Meikledale states that the stone was standing until shortly before the last war, when it was blasted out and part of it dumped in the nearby Meikledale Burn. However, its present dimensions of 1.6m by 1.0m by 0.3m are similar to the 1920 RCAHMS description.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (JRL) 24 September 1979.
