A named place photographed at this map point in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Clach an Truiseil Standing Stone is likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical dating of such stones in the Scottish Atlantic seaboard. Its name, meaning "Stone of the Tresile" or possibly "Stone of the Trooper," may reflect later folklore or a misinterpretation of its original ceremonial or territorial significance.
