Standing Stone (Menhir) in Aberdeenshire

This stone is situated in a gap in a consumption dyke near Tilquhillie Castle. (A consumption dyke is a extra thick, high stone wall made to use up the stones cleared off the fields; nearer Aberdeen the stones were actually carted down to the harbour and "exported" to places like London).

Depite the alternative name RCAHMS insist there is no evidence to suggest it was part of a circle.

It is given as 1.7m tall.

More recently, RCAHMS have changed their tune somewhat.
