Standing in the enclosure with the three cross stumps is this mighty lump of rock with a seriously large bullaun in its upper surface.

The 1m tall lump of rock is extremely rough and unworked and is about 1.2m across by 60cm deep. The bullaun is very deep and about 25-30cm across.

This is currently the only object that is really visible in the enclosure do to the encroaching trees.
