Standing stone

What is recorded here

On flat ground, with views of the Sugar Loaf mountain to the W and the Little Sugar Loaf to the E. A rectangular shale stone (H 1.56m; Wth 0.58m; max. T 0.33m), with an irregular shaped stone (c. 0.56m x 0.34m) sitting on the ground to the NW, which appears to have broken off the base of the NE face of the stone. The SW face of the stone is much smoother than the NE face. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 21 February 2013
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance, possibly aligned with landscape features such as the Sugar Loaf mountains. No inscriptions or carvings are noted, and local folklore or specific use remains unrecorded.

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