Full Description
B31 (NF673020) Fallen monolith, 3 m long and 0.6 m wide. It stands on the watershed between the Borve valley and Allasdale and is only 100 m from Dun Bharpa (B1). Although it could possibly have been removed from the ring of monoliths set into the cairn at Dun Bharpa, this seems unlikely. The monoliths at Dun Bharpa are all notably broader than this stone.
