This medium sized stone sits alongside the driveway to Kingston House, about 40m from the road and 100m from a nearby stream. It was hard to get any information regarding the size and shape from the gateway and too early on a Sunday morning to knocking on doors.

While I was passing fairly close I decided to take some better pictures of this pointed stone. I managed to get level with the stone, thus being able to see that it is only about 20-25 cmthick.
