This is marked as a standing stone on the map, but I doubt that it is. It appears to be more likely part of a tomb. There are numerous other large slab like rocks littering the floor within 50 m.

The broad face is extremely vandalised with modern carvings, which ruins the stone completely. The saving grace is the proximity of the babbling brook just 20 m or so away.
