What is recorded here
Faunkill-AND-THE-Woods holds a small standing stone on a rough stony pasture terrace, tilted NE-SW across a N-facing slope. It rises 1.19m, broad enough to touch but no taller than a person’s chest, while larger stones lie scattered around like broken company. The place does not announce itself; it waits for someone to walk past, hesitate, and imagine the hands that set it there.
On a rough stony pasture terrace, on a N-facing slope. This standing stone (0.64m x 0.33m; H 1.19m) is orientated NE-SW. Large stones are scattered on the ground nearby.
