More information : SS 8414 2903. A rectangular upright stone 0.35m wide, 0.15m thick and protruding 0.5m high. It is set in the scrub and bracken-covered peat to the east of a small gulley 5m north of the road and 29m east of a culvert.

Oriented N-S, it is of a layered slatey consistency and the faces have flaked off making interpretation of the letters difficult. The letter C is clearly engraved on its west face but only the base of the V and part of the uprights of the H can now be discerned. Nothing is evident on its east face.

The stone, most probably a post medieval boundary stone, is earthfast and firmly set. It is isn the same position now as shown on the 1891 Six Inch (1a) and the 1971 1:2500 (1b). there is no evidence to suggest it has been moved or replaced as stated in the SMR report (1c). (1)
