"The Stones around Callanish" (ISBN:0-9505998-9-1 published in 1984) tells 'The stone is under the power cables and marked by several surveyors' pegs', but now almost no clue which indicate its position remains. It lies in a hollow in a meadow, might be much harder target than Callanish 13. The combination of a flat stone with a slit and another long stone with a sharp point might have some sexual suggestion about fertility like Cern Giant hill figure.
