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.
