What is recorded here

Derreen Lower holds a three-metre stone that field clearance dragged one hundred metres from its original standing place. It now leans in a boundary pile, stripped of its vertical life but still catching light on the SE-facing slope beside Hungry Hill. The move turned a marker into rubble, yet the stone remembers the shape it kept before human hands decided it was in the way.

In rough pasture on a SE-facing slope, in a valley at the E side of Hungry Hill. This possible standing stone (L 3m; H 1.5m) was moved, in the course of field clearance work, from its original location (CO116-038----) c. 110m to the SE and it is now piled, along with other stones and boulders, against a field boundary.
