This stone stands on the parish boundary between Latheron to the SW and Wick to the NE, but local tradition suggests that it was erected in the 19th century by Thrumster estate to mark the highest point on the SW part of its march. The stone is a slab of sandstone measuring 0.7m from NW to SE by 80mm transversely and 1.7m in height. At ground-level the stone is rather thicker, measuring 0.2m in thickness, and possibly indicating that a large part of its SW face has broken away. Immediately SE of the stone there is a larger slab of sandstone from which the erect stone may have been quarried.
