Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or inscriptions are recorded, though its elevated position suggests it may have had ritual or symbolic significance in the landscape.

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