This stone seems to be one of those natural eratic rocking stones that we all love. Unfortunately this one's lost its rockability! The stone has slipped from its bedrock platform and wobbles no more.

It is a huge weather sculpted boulder some 3m to a side and 2m thick. The eastern face is beautifully eroded. It looks as if someone has picked it up in one hand and squeezed it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this stone didn't have some giant throwing folklore attached to it.
