026 | [situation] About 2 1/4 Miles N.W. [Northwest] from St. Monance. A standing stone of considerable antiquity situated on the farm of Easter Pitcorthie. It is a rude undressed block, standing in an upright position on the top of a small eminence. Its dimensions are; about 7 1/2 feet in height, breadth about 4 feet, and two feet in thickness. Nothing is locally known of its origin, or the date of its erection, but it is generally believed to mark the grave of some slain warrior. During the present winter the earth around it was excavated, but save a few fragments of bone (supposed to be human) nothing was found to [shed] any light upon its history. |
