(NR 9064 3253) Standing Stone (NR)
OS 6" map, Buteshire,(1924)
This standing stone measures 5ft 4ins x 1ft 2ins x 1ft 4ins. In 1861, near it were several smaller stones, apparently fragments of larger ones, indicating the former existence of a stone circle. As he was unable to determine the centre of the circle, Bryce dug a trench at the W base of the stone, but no remains or signs of previous disturbance were seen.
Information from OS (IF) 3 April 1973.
