This small, pointed stone is very much in the shadow of Knocklayd Mountain. It is one of many stones that encompass the mountain. If this group fully extended around the east side of the big round hill then they would be a candidate for the largest stone circle in the world!

This stone looks smaller than it is, because there is a pile of grass-covered stones piled up around its base. A little over 1m sticks up above these stones, but it is actually closer 1.6m high.
