This 2m+ tall stone is quite special. As you approach across the field it does not look much more than a fine standing stone, but when you reach it a look on the far side you see the most magnificent spirals and some faint curves.

The largest spiral is over 40cm in diameter. The stone was a roof lintel from a tomb that stood on this site.
