Full Description
Standing stone, possibly the remains of a possible stone circle of which only one stone remains. This standing stone is located in a field a quarter mile west of the Mains of Mundurno.
The standing stone is 0.4 metres thick, measures 1.3 metres from north to south and rises to a pointed top at a height of 1.85 metres.
No excavation has taken place to locate the socket holes for the missing stones, which would indicate whether there were other stones at this location.
The Ordnance Survey Name Book (1867) records that six or seven other stones of similar size forming a circle were removed during field clearing.
