A 2 metre tall standing stone, recorded as Canmore site no. 25285, which tells us this "standing stone ..... is situated in the middle of an arable field and leans to the N, measures a maximum of 0.8m from N to S by 0.55m transversely, and tapers towards the top at a height of 2m." In a visit in 2004, Canmore adds in a report: "Miscellaneous cropmarks, probably geological in origin, have been recorded on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2000) adjacent to the standing stone."
Update June 2017: Further information can also be found on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their page for Concraig, Muthill, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding the stone, photographs, a brief archaeology and history and an image of the stone's location from the 1863 OS map.
