Visit Notes

This one is Andy's stone. It was unrecorded by Liam Price, which is quite amazing. There is a complete contradiction of scale here. The bullaun is tiny. Really tiny - just 10cm across. The boulder, which stands in the river, is massive. Really massive - at least 2m square and 1.5m tall.

The boulder stand next to one of the few deep pools in this stretch of river.
