NT 342144 171. Standing Stone. Black Rig. This stone stands about 700 yds. SE. of Clearburn Cottage, near the summit of Black Rig and on a slope facing NE. It is a pillar 3 ft. high and of rhomboidal section, its other dimensions being 2 ft and 11 in. and its major axis being aligned from NNW. to SSE. It is set with packing stones on top of a slight mound 21 ft. in diameter and rising about 3 ft. on its downhill side; on its uphill side the nearly flat top of the mound is flush with the adjoining surface. It may possibly have served as a landmark on the drove-road described under RCAHMS 1957 No. 92. (cf also No. 98.)
