What is recorded here
Kinletter holds a 1.7m stone, 0.8m wide, standing E-W in forestry above rough pasture and bog. It is the kind of place where people may have marked boundary, ceremony or memory before roads existed. The surrounding land still moves with water, shade and silence, keeping the stone company long after human hands stopped shaping it.
A standing stone 1.7m high × c. 0.8m wide; E-W. Situated, in forestry, in an area generally of rough pasture and bog land.
