What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope. Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. A limestone standing stone (L 1.6m) leans heavily to the N and is currently H 0.9m above ground level; present long-axis NNW-SSE. It is rectangular in plan (basal Wth 0.48m; top Wth 0.3m; basal T 0.15m; top T 0.09m) and elevation and top slopes upwards to NNW. Hollow around base is likely due to erosion by livestock whilst using stone as scratching post. The field boundary (long axis ENE-WSW) to the N has been removed. Enclosure (TS059-072----) is c. 120m to SW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 October 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
