The historic map is an Ordnance Survey map from 1919 to 1947, and is provided by the National Library of Scotland

This stone measures around 1.1m tall by 1.0m wide, with a thickness of approximately 0.4m, and stands within a deserted farmstead.

A second stone just to the south of this one may also have been a standing stone, although it has been used as part of a doorway.

Just to the north-east of the standing stone is a third stone which has been reused at the south-west corner of a building. It measures 1.5m long by 0.4m wide and 0.5m thick. It may also have once stood.

The suggestion here is that the standing stone may once have formed part of a different site, possibly some form of stone circle.
