This stone took some finding. A new plantation has been planted since the OS map was drawn up and this stone was nearly swallowed up. It is now incorporated into the fence at the edge of the new plantation.

I don't think I've seen a more unusual stone. It looks like a 2m high model of an old New York skyscraper. It is difficult to describe, but it is made up different height rectangular blocks. The trees around it block all the views, but at one time nearby Dyrick Hill would have featured very prominently.
