No trace of this stone could be found at NH 7707 5014. It is probably the stone now adjacent to the front door of the U.F.C church manse at Tornagrain (NH 7670 4985) and measures 0.7m x 0.6m x 0.4m high having a hole 5" in diam by 3" deep central to the top. The circumstances of its removal could not be ascertained by local enquiry.
