This stone is on Coflein and the map only as "stone", but it is clearly another standing stone all be it nearly horizontal. Packing stones can be seen at the end of the stone thats still in the ground.
Its nearness to the ring, kerbs, cairns, barrows and the other standing stone only a hundred yards away indicate that this is yet another part of this impressive complex.
It can be reached by footpath most of the way, but is a tad off piste, watch out for local landowners they guard their treasures jealously.
