Notes
This stone and Three Piked Stane (OS Digimap) mark a turning point in the parish boundary between Dornock and Annan parishes. See NMRS (Canmore ID 67009) for discussion. NMRS records that it, or the well nearby, was a place of pilgrimage. None of this information has been supported by any other evidence, and it may all arise from a local folk-explanation of the site and its name.
