This stone took some spotting over the hedge because it is under a tree propped up against the bank/hedge.

It is truly enormous measuring 1.4 m in diameter. It has three large (20 cm) bullauns diagonally across its large surface. I thought that there may have been the starts of two more that would have made it look like the five side on a die.

One of its cup was full of leaves and the other is slightly buried.
