Standing stone, possibly the remains of a possible stone circle of which only one stone remains. This standing stone is located in a field a quarter mile west of the Mains of Mundurno. No excavation has taken place to locate the other socket holes, which would indicate whether there were other stones at this location. These monuments consist of the recumbent stone (laid on its side with a levelled top) and flankers (two pillar stones flanking the recumbent) which were placed to frame the rising or setting of the moon in the southern sky seen from the inside of the circle. The Ordnance Survey Name Book (1867) records that six or seven other stones of similar size forming a circle were removed during field clearing. In 1993 the standing stone fell and, following the excavation of the socket by Historic Scotland, it was re-erected. The standing stone is 0.4 metres thick, measures 1.3 metres from north to south and rises to a pointed top at a height of 1.85 metres.
