Abstract

Canmore 47915 NS 9806 7311. This quadrilateral upright boulder stands on the summit of a low flat-topped ridge. Of hard red grit, it is c. 4' high, 2' 8" x 2' wide at bottom, and 3' 5" wide at top. The ONB notes that the outline of a Maltese cross, almost obliterated, may be seen on the N face of the stone, when viewed from a few yards away. However this is no longer visible. This is one of the stones marking the area of the sanctuary associated with Torphichen. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
