I can’t think of much to say about this stone. It’s definitely not difficult to find, and being about 2 feet from the road, it’s very accessible. I got the feeling that it’s placement had to be something to do with this spot being at the narrowest point of the island, but can’t quite explain why.
The one thing I feel I can say is this is a much nicer stone than the one at the south of the island at Cathan’s Church. Shame it’s been a bit broken, but it does make it a nice shape.

More info about the stone, with mention of the other ancient stones of the island, including the Bodach and the Cailleach.
Some stuff about possible archaeoastronomical significance of the stone.
