This is more of a lying stone than a standing stone, but it would have been a mighty fine one when it did. Does that make sense?

The stone is very weathered and covered in lots of lovely pits and ridges. It is 2m long and 60cm+ wide and deep. Sadly it is lying in a private garden all forlorn and lonely looking on the perfectly mown lawn.
