What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tir Artair as Standing Stone (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, Tir Artair is a standing stone that may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial focus, or astronomical alignment point. Its name, derived from the Gaelic *Tir Artair* (Land of Arthur), may reflect later medieval or folk associations, though its original prehistoric meaning remains uncertain.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
