Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial feature, possibly linked to early farming communities in the region. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.
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.
