The Stone

The Cammo Stane is similar in shape and style to the nearby Catstane, but is larger, and without any inscribed markings.

At some point in recent history, this stone has had a large metal hook driven into its East face, of uncertain purpose. Three other smaller stones nearby (East) also have hooks driven into them, but which specifically suggest their use in fencing of some kind.
