What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records The Ringing Stone as Recumbent Stone Circle (neolithic) - (bronze Age). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Ringing Stone is likely associated with the Neolithic or Bronze Age and may have been part of a recumbent stone circle, used for ceremonial or astronomical purposes. It may also have had acoustic properties, giving rise to local folklore about its "ringing" sound when struck.
