Field Visit (May 1982)
This stone, situated on a terrace 600m SSW of Rowanfield Cottage, is aligned NNW-SSE; it measures 2.6m in height and 0.8m by 0.4m at the base, from which it rises with straight sides to an irregular top. A shallow depression 50mm in diameter, which is visible on the SSE side of the stone at a point about 0.7m above ground level, is probably of natural origin (Campbell and Sandeman 1964).
