As we drove along the coastal road peering into the trees we had given up on this stone as 'unspotable'. However, as we went around the corner the gate to the caravan park appeared, so we entered.

Immediately we saw a large slab, that is now the centre-piece of a small flower border and has a clematis growing up it. In mild disbelief we checked with the owner of the caravan park and it is the stone (the map says 'standing stones', but there is only one).

It is a slab about 1.7m tall, which tapers to a rounded point and is 30cm thick.
