NN82SE 27 8798 2431
(NN 8798 2429) Standing Stone (NR)
OS 6" map (1959)
A single standing stone, 4ft by 3ft and 5ft high.
J R Allen 1882
Stands in the middle of a causeway 6 yds wide, like a Roman road. Immediately to the SE is a small flat round mound, diameter 5 yds., neat and untouched. No stones or stone-holes. ? A burial mound and grave-stone.
OS 6" map annotated by O G S Crawford, 9 June 1936.
NN 8798 2431. The standing stone (incorrectly positioned on old OS 25") is as described above. The causeway mentioned by Crawford extends c.50.0m to the west of the stone and c.70.0m to the east; its purpose is uncertain. The flat mound is now too vague to interpret.
Visited by OS (RD), 24 November 1966.
