Standing stone

What is recorded here

On the crest of a hillock overlooking a broad basin S-NE. There is an earthfast stone with an oval cross-section (dims. 1m x 0.6m; H 0.8m) roughly aligned NW-SE 7m S of ring-barrow (RO048-109001-). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a funerary or ritual landscape associated with the nearby ring-barrow. Its alignment and positioning suggest a possible ceremonial or territorial function, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
