Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (b) ) as 'Located c. 60 to 70m N of the wedge-tomb [KE035-073001-], and c. 85m S of another standing stone [KE035-073003-], this is a thin, gable-shaped stone standing 1.2m high and measuring 1.95m wide x 0.35 to 0.44m thick at base; NW-SE. Two possible cup-marks are visible on its SW face. (Fig. 15)'.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to the nearby wedge-tomb. Its gable shape suggests it could have been part of a ceremonial landscape or marker for ancestral memory.
