Whilst looking for somewhere to park to try and find the nearby stone circle I saw this little standing stone 50m or so from the road. About 1m of it sticks out of the peat, but who knows how deep the peat is here? The stone could be much bigger!

What is interesting about this spot is an arc of seemingly set stones 30m from the standing stone. Is this a ruined stone circle to which this standing stone is an outlier?
