Why this matters

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or funerary landscape associated with the nearby cairn. Its alignment and broken condition may reflect symbolic practices or later disturbance, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.

What is recorded here

Located at the NE edge of a cairn (CL016-146002-), this limestone standing stone (0.55m N-S; 0.34m E-W; max. H 1.08m at N) is aligned N-S. Its jagged top suggests it has been broken and another piece of limestone visible on the surface of the cairn, c. 0.7m to its S, may be the piece that was broken off. The stone is polished as a result of cattle using it as a scratching post. Some packing stones are visible at its base.
