What is recorded here
Glandart holds a leaning stone on a southern slope, facing a wooded hill across the valley. It narrows as it rises and tilts north, like a person listening rather than declaring. Rough pasture surrounds it, depriving the place of display but not presence. The stone may have marked a boundary, a meeting point or a memory for people who no longer speak its name.
In rough pasture, on an E-W terrace on a S-facing rocky hillslope with a view across the valley to a wooded hill. This standing stone (1.2m x 0.68m; H 0.95m) is roughly rectangular in plan and is orientated ENE-WSW. The stone narrows as it rises and it leans slightly to the N.

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, given its form and orientation. It may have had a ritual or territorial function, possibly aligned with solar or seasonal events, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.
