Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Auchencloy Monument as Commemorative Monument (19th Century) (1835), Covenanters Stone (19th Century) (1835). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Auchencloy Monument is associated with the Covenanters, a group of 17th-century Scottish Presbyterians who resisted royal attempts to impose Anglican practices on the Church of Scotland. The 19th-century monument likely commemorates their persecution and stands as a symbol of their religious and political struggle.
