What is recorded here
On top of a rise, in undulating pasture. An upright stone (H 1.45m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.3m), roughly rectangular in profile and section, with its long axis aligned N-S. Its edges have been worn smooth by cattle scratching against it. Cattle have also worn down the ground at its base, exposing two packing stones.

Likely dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, this standing stone may have had a ritual or territorial function. Its smooth edges suggest long-term use by cattle, which may reflect agricultural practices or local folklore associating the stone with animal welfare or protection.
