Dated to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. Its prominent location suggests it was aligned with significant landscape features or used in seasonal rituals.

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