This one took me by surprise. The OS map shows the stone to be behind some buildings, so I was walking up and down the road trying to see which of the houses it was hidden by. Then I saw it. It isn't behind the houses but between a house and a garage, standing there like a sentry guarding the back garden.

It is a huge block of stone around 1.8m tall and over 1m wide. It is currently used as a large rockery feature.
