A standing stone 3.04m high × 1.06m wide × 0.18m thick. Situated in tidal waters off Fegart Point and is locally believed to be a monument and not a navigation mark.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, Fegart standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. Local belief suggests it is a prehistoric monument rather than a modern navigation aid, though its specific meaning or use remains unrecorded.
