Geocache Description:

A cache and dash near Craigneich Standing Stone. The stone is in a field close to the farm and next to the road.

If you want to look at the stone more closely you will have to climb over the fence which has barbed wire on it. The stone can easily be seen and photographed from the road. This stone is a thick block about two metres tall, with one good flat face on it. It now leans appreciably to the west.

It has been suggested that the stone would have been set vertically when it was originally set up, and that the stone was set up to mark the general position of the rising winter moon.

There were sheep with big curly horns in the field with the stone when we hid the cache. You do not need to climb over any fences to find the cache.

The cache is a small lock & lock box which contains a log book and pencil, and has room for small swops, small TBs and geocoins.
