This 1.6m tall, irregular stone stands between the portal tomb and the stream. It does not appear to be of the mudstone commonly used for monuments locally and so could be an eratic or even an import.

I wanted to visit the portal tomb again so took the opportunity to take a photo of the stone with my 1m long stick for scale.
