What is recorded here

In a small coniferous forest clearing at the top of a short, moderately steep SW slope, c. 120m to SSW of a barrow site (KD038-056----), in what was known as the 'Long Stone Field on Mr. Leonard's farm', where it stood 'at a sharp angle with the ground' (Fitzgerald 1906-8, 465). The tall, (and now vertical) sub-rectangular granite stone is orientated on a N-S axis (H 2.45m; L 0.95m; Wth 0.4m) with packing stones at the base. It tapers slightly towards the top, portion of which is broken off, and its smooth E face contrasts with the other, rougher faces. Date of upload: 15 September 2016
