Site of the Standing Stone of Benshie [note]
The "Stannin' Stane of Benshie", which stood for unknown ages
and was the theme of enquiry and speculation to local antiquaries, and the
dread of the credulous was demolished by gunpowder & few years ago. This rude monument of antiquity is supposed
to have been about 20 Tons weight - and at a considerable depth below it, a large clay urn measuring about 3 ft. [feet] in height
was found containing a quantity of human bones and ashes.
