What is recorded here

On flat crest of hill in undulating terrain, under pasture. On one of the highest hills in the vicinity with excellent views. A limestone standing stone (0.57m x 0.34m; H 2.4m) with a flat top, roughly rectangular in plan and orientated N-S. It leans towards the W. The surface is very weathered, with vertical depressions on the S face which appear to be the result of natural erosion. It is also partially covered in lichen. There are loose stones around base to the E and W which are probably from small scale field clearance. The field boundary N of the standing stone has been removed.

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical feature. No specific folklore is recorded, but its prominent hilltop position suggests it held symbolic or ritual significance for prehistoric communities.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
