(NT 2269 3863) Stone (NR)
OS 6" map (1965)
The standing stone that is built into the wall bordering the NW side of the public road halfway between Manor Bridge and Kirkton Manor is not in its original position and what is presumably the same stone is marked on Armstrong's map of 1775 about 100 yds further to the NW. The stone measures 6 ft 3 in. in height and 4 ft 9 in. by 1 ft 9 in. at ground level. On both the NW and SE faces there are a number of natural hollows which have sometimes been mistaken for prehistoric cup-marks. (Information from A McLaren notebook 1, 138)
