What is recorded here

On a N-facing downslope in pastureland. This standing stone consists of a karstic limestone slab with evidence of water channels. It is rectangular in plan (H 2.7m; max. Wth 1.83m), tapering towards the top (Wth 0.6m). It is aligned NNW-SSE and leans towards the W. Some field stones are piled against the base on the W side. Lichen is visible on all faces of the stone and it is used as a scratching post by livestock. A structural crack is evident towards the lower end of the E face.
