This stone gets its name from the large protuberance that projects from one side making it look harp-like. When asking a local lady for directions to the stone she told me that she hadn't heard of that name for it, though.
The stone stands over 3m tall on top of a ridge in a hay field. Trees obscure the views to the east and south, while barns block the view to the west. Only to the north can you appreciate what a great location this is.
The walk up the short, overgrown farmtrack alone makes a visit here worthwhile, but the massive stone itself is so good that I'm surprised it's not more widely known.
