Image: © Mary and Angus Hogg Taken: 3 Jun 2017
This large, plain standing stone leans against a dry-stane dyke. The group of prehistoric features of this area indicates an ancient centre of population. The stone is close to a Caledonian Stone Circle Image and a Bronze Age burial cairn Image There's also a fine early Christian Cross-Slab, but this lies on private ground.
