What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilninver as Standing Stone (prehistoric). 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.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the standing stone at Kilninver may have served as a marker for territorial boundaries, a ceremonial site, or aligned with astronomical events. Its name, derived from the Gaelic "Cill Nínneir," may reference an early Christian saint, suggesting later Christian associations or folklore.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
