This small stone stands in heather about 16m from the NE corner of Loch na Buail’ Iochdraich. It is aligned NW and SE and measures 0.7m in breadth by 0.2m in thickness at ground level, rising to a point at a height of 0.95m. The stone is of schist displaying alternating bands of quartz and darker minerals. (From Canmore, RCAHMS visit 2010)
Although the stone is much overgrown by deep heather, it is still clearly visible from the hillside above and the nearby Leacach An Tigh Chloiche complex.
