Description
"....The monument includes a standing stone of Bronze Age date situated on a high plateau. The standing stone is 2.15m high by 1m broad and is 0.6m thick and has been formed from a massive freestone block. The upper parts of the stone are deeply grooved and weathered and this has removed much of the original surface of the stone.
