This is one of those 'standing stones' that you look at and say to yourself, "that was part of a tomb!" I am almost certain that this one was. It is a long slab set lengthwise in the ground pointing NE-SW and next to a little marshy hollow.

The stone is about 1.6m long, 1m high and about 25cm thick.
