(Formerly classified as standing stone). This stone, which stood in a cultivated field about 370m SE of East Leylodge farmsteading (NJ71SE 76), has been removed.
The stone is first depicted on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire 1901, sheet lxiv) and, along with three other stones (NJ71SE 11 and NJ71SE 12 ) on the farm, it was probably erected as a cattle-rubbing stone in the late-19th century.
