OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed, (1900)

F Celoria 1959.
NR 3972 4592 A standing stone 0.7m by 0.2m by 1.1m high with an oval grass covered stony mound around it. This mound is 7.5m by 4.5m and 1.0m in maximum height and looks more like a recent stone dump than a burial cairn.
Surveyed at 1:10000.
Visited by OS (BS) 5 June 1978.
Immediately E of the track that leads from Lagavulin to the ruins of Ballynaughton More, at the N edge of an arable field, there is a grass-grown cairn measuring 5.5m by 4.6m and 1.0m in height. Ploughing has distorted its original shape, and several large blocks lying on its surface have probably been cleared from the field. But protruding from the cairn material there is a standing stone, which is exposed for a height of I-0m and measures 0.72m by 0.24m with the
longer axis aligned from NW to SE.
