Cill Fhearchair - Farquhar's Cell or Church - refers to a probably mediaeval graveyard consisting of two circular enclosures, one partly destroyed by road works. The standing stone stands in the complete enclosure. It is c 5 feet 9 inches in height.
Access is easy - the stone is close to the main road from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and easily visible from the road. Regrettably, this does nothing for the ambience.
