Standing stone, a block of freestone, uninscribed, standing in stackyard of farm. It measures circa 3.4m high, and 1m by 0.7m at the base. In circa 1860 the stone was knocked over and, before being re-erected, excavations were carried out around its base when part of a human skeleton, buried in black unctuous earth, was found. The stone was then re-erected on same spot. Traditionally said to mark the grave of a son of Camus or some other important personage in his army who was killed here in a battle between the Scots and the Danes.
