This rocking stone is several tons in weight and rests on two other stones. Paterson, whose topographical description is erroneous, adds that it could easily be moved 'about forty years ago', but its equilibrium has been destroyed.
Name Book 1856; J Paterson 1847
On the steep rocky bank of the Bellow Water no particular stone of any significance was found at or near the published site. It is not known of locally.
