A very unattractive conglomerate standing stone about 1.6m tall, that is built into the front garden wall of a farmhouse. The wall is very ugly, the farmhouse is very ugly and the stone isn't exactly the prettiest thing around either.

Its only plus point is that you don't have to cross six fields of bog to get to it, as it is literally on the roadside.
