Visit Notes

Sunday, 13th March 2005

This singular standing stone is not the more famous decorated stone pair to the north. It is a slim, square sectioned stone around 1.5m tall. Its proximity to a modern farm building and modern wire fence really do kill any sense of place that it may once have offered.
