What is recorded here

On the NNW-facing slope of a prominent drumlin ridge in tillage (barley). Large, irregularly-shaped stone (H 1.4m; Wth at base 1.45m; max. Wth. 2.46m; T 0.6m), aligned NNE-SSW and tapering to a point. Adjacent to the foot of the stone on the ESE side are three large irregularly-shaped stones. There are two at the WNW side. This is a prominent feature on the landscape and is known in the locality as an ancient monument. Accordingly, an oval-shaped area (dims. 8m x 3.5m) around the stone has been left untilled.
