At NH 08039152, 30m W of the track to Kildonan Farm stands a monolith, 1.4m high, 1.0 metres wide by 0.2m thick with its main axis N and S, and inclined in an easterly direction. According to local informant (Miss McNorton, Ardnessie, Dundonnell, Little Lochbroom) opinion is divided as to the purpose of this stone, some regard it as a sanctuary stone of the early monastic establishment ( NH09SE 1 ), others as a prehistoric standing stone.
