A large broad stone, dating from before the 15th century. It has a hole in the middle, which probably supported a pillar or town cross. It may have marked a well or the burgh boundary. The area behind was Kingsmills Park football ground, home of Inverness Thistle FC. That was demolished in the 1990s, and replaced with housing.
