OS 6" map, Perthshire, 2nd ed., (1900)
The monolith is 3ft 7ins high, 20ins wide and 8-10ins thick. Although its even sides suggest the use of tools, close examination reveals that it is natural. It has been disfigured by bullet-marks.
F R Coles 1908.
Clach na h-Iobairt - 'the stone of the offering'. This perhaps commemorates an offering of land here to the Church of Kilmaveonaig (NN86NE 11)
