What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Clach An Righ as Stone Circle (neolithic) - (bronze Age). 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.
Clach An Righ is likely associated with the Neolithic or Bronze Age and may have functioned as a ceremonial or ritual site. Its name, meaning "The King's Stone," suggests later Gaelic folklore may have attached regal or ancestral significance to the stone.
