The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Dated to the Neolithic period, the Banff 'grey Stone' may have functioned as a ceremonial or territorial marker, potentially linked to early farming communities. Its association with a possible stone circle suggests it could have been part of a wider ritual landscape, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
