In my mind I was heading for a very tall stone, so I was a little disappointed when I first saw this one. Across the field it looked tiny. As I approached, though, I saw that it was in a dip and is actually 2m tall.
The top has been shaped and given 'shoulders', making it look quite human. It stands just 30m from the edge of high cliffs and you can hear the sea crashing against the rocks below. Just to the east of the stone there is a lovely, small, picturesque cove that invokes images of smugglers bringing barrels of rum ashore in long rowing boats.
