Over six feet high this standing stone is said to commemorate the death of Duncan II. It commands a good view to the south and east over the Mearns plain. Ariel photography suggests the possibility of a curvilinear enclosure with the stone at the inner South edge of it.
Although just off the A90 I have driven past it many times without seeing it due to it being the over side of the railway line. My access point from East Mondynes farm involved crossing four barbed wire fences!
