About 6.5 to 7 foot tall the story given to me was that
the farmer's ( he was Seventy odd ) father had had some men ploughing the land when the plough encountered this stone lying prostrate. The workers where in the act of dragging it to the river Nairn to dump it when his father saw what was happening and stopped them with the warning that the stone must never leave the field for fear of bad luck striking the farm.
So the stone was re erected where it stands in the corner of the field.
Just to the south of this is a smaller stone that seems roughly dressed but is to large for a gate post and not by any obvious entry to a field. May be they formed a back marker and for sight for astronomical observation as the distant horizon is remarkably level. But with out the larger stones original position, who knows.
