What is recorded here

The ENE face is concave, the N face is convex and the S face is cracked and weathered. In profile it slopes from the E down to the W. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 28 June 2013
Probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its positioning for visibility suggests a possible role in landscape marking or ceremonial activity, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
