Full Description
Standing stone. Dalrymple found a capstone circa 30cm square at the base of the stone, on the south side at a depth of 15cm. Below it was a pit, about 45cm deep, filled with yellow earth and small boulders with some charcoal, which he suggests is a burial deposit. Innes has found human remains, but no urns at the side of the stone. No trace of the capstone or cist was found in 1965 and the area around the base is packed with small stones. A second stone stands circa 73m to the west (NO88NE0077).
