Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th February 2007

Sadly this stone has now fallen. It would have been very impressive when standing. It would have stood about 1.8m tall. This is the chunkiest stone in the area.

It is difficult to decide which way up it would have stood. The broadest end is 1.5m and the narrowest end is 1m wide. The stone is 1m thick. Being in the middle of a large field and just 100m from a busy road the site has no atmosphere at all. The main thing of note here is a hill to the northeast.
