At E end of playing field of Carrignavar College. Stone removed from this position during 1960s and now lies on its side (L 3.32m; 1.5m x 0.3m) against wall to N. Condon (1916, 59) saw stone in upright position (H 8ft 9in; Wth 5ft 6in; T 6 - 16in) and noted it was 'very much out of the perpendicular'.
