Standing stone in Corrasluastia

Standing stone

What is recorded here

At the E end of a low knoll. A stone, which was once upright (H c. 1.35m) (OS Name Books) and roughly aligned E-W (NMI file), but is now prone (L 2.1m; dims. 1.4m x 0.3m). It narrows to a tenon (dims 0.1m x 0.3m) at the SW end which is half embedded in a grass-covered cairn (RO025-019002-) (dims 3m E-W; 2.2m N-S; H 0.8m). Wedge tomb (RO025-020----) is c. 150m to the WSW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ritual or territorial function. Its alignment and tenon suggest it could have been part of a larger megalithic structure or monument, though its current context offers limited clues to its original purpose.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
