What is recorded here

On a slight ridge in pastureland. When inspected in February 1983 this standing stone consisted of a badly eroded limestone slab (H 2m; Wth 0.66m; T 0.29m) that was rectangular in plan and aligned E-W. A number of solution holes pierced it. Small stones formed a revetment (Wth 0.2m) around its base. Not visible on current OSi aerial imagery, which indicates that field boundaries in the area have subsequently been cleared.
